Bob Love

Peg Leg Annie Bob Love

In this book of Creative Non-Fiction based on the author's own life experience and extensive research, Love tells the story of an Idaho Territorial Legend in the first book length treatment of Peg Leg Annie's life. Thousands of lines of prose were written of this legend but all have shared common errors and were redundant in context. Love's research and knowledge obtained through Annie's descendants and the author's ancestor reveal the hardships, and tragedies, of a 'Fallen Angels' spiritual resolve to survive and become an entrepreneur of her time. Love lays to rest the elusive identities of her long-term mate as well as Dutch Em, who shared her tragic trek over Mt. Baldy in 1896.
