Forgotten Cowgirl The Journals of Lizzie Hoffman Travel with Lizzie - from a budding young girl to a strong independent woman - within the intimate and innocent diary, she penned to capture the thrills discovering how each of her days blessed her with new experiences. A real person who lived in the Flagstaff area in the 1880's, Lizzie lived a life unlike any woman of her time wild, impetuous, and bitten by a rabid curiosity. Reading her journals, we witness her wanderlust take her across the Midwest and on to the Yukon where she pans for gold alongside a passel of rough n' rowdy rogues. Ever undaunted, Lizzie navigates untrodden paths and unsavory persons. Her romances verge on the legendary, and as with all men and their mischiefs, lead to Lizzie's last, tragic, encounter. Author J.K. Hoffman gives an authentic voice to Lizzie - a direct relative - in her first novel, imaging the adventures that fill the gaps in the historical record. Now buried in Flagstaff, Lizzie - through the author's kinship - embodies the Southwest's distinctive heritage throughout her colorful tale.
