The Queen Of The Everglades

She walked the streets of Stuart, Florida, with a holstered Colt revolver snugged closely to her inner-thigh. The message? "You don't mess with The Queen Of The Everglades." This was the 1920's, "The Roaring 20's" some folks say and she was John Ashley's woman and part of the feared Ashley Gang that brought in booze from the Bahamas to Florida's Treasure Coast. Sure, she had been married with two kids, but she left all that behind to make the "Big Money !"
