Elsa Guerin alias Mountain Charley

[Harley Starr]

I've been fascinated by the true story of Elsa Guerin. She was widowed at the age of fifteen and had two children to raise. She dressed up like a man in order to get work that only a man could get. Yet she still wanted revenge on her husband's killer, whose name escapes me at the moment.

Anybody have more thorough information on this than me?

I googled the name and came up with this link. It's a transcript from the show "Revenge Tech" on the History Channel (hosted by David Carradine. It talks about Elso Guerin last, but the other stories (cannibalism, miraculous survivals of shotgun wounds and hangings and more) are eye-openers. Here's the link:

they appear to have a video of the episode available on that site as well.
