The story of Betty Pellet, ex-actress as a Broadway and silent film star, politician and legislator, housewife, and hard-rock, bonanza-hunting miner. She invaded wartime Washington and waged a dramatic, one-woman battle, from Capitol Hill right into the White House to save the Rio Grande Southern, then a bankrupt mountain railroad on which ranchers and miners of five counties depended. Her remarkable career is presented in a lively, delightful and gusty fashion.
Johnny Carson said, "If I had been born a woman I think I would like to have been Betty Pellet."

About River House Books
I found hundreds of nice dust jackets with no books to cover. Need one for your library? Have a look at that category!
Have some dust jackets to sell? Drop me a line!
I ship domestically in the US using the Post Office and internationally using consolidation services. Books are always wrapped then packed in cardboard boxes with padding to protect the contents. International shipments are double boxed with shipping paperwork attached to the outside of the box using a special envelope. And a complete duplicate of all the paperwork packed inside the outer box in case the attached set wanders off.
Previous international shipments to Austria, Australia, Bahrain, Canada, Germany, Hong Kong, Spain, Sweden, UK --> Help me fill in my international bingo card!
