Girl Waits with Gun by Amy Stewart
The Kopp sisters are living relatively quietly on a farm in Wyckoff, New Jersey until an encounter with silk factory owner Henry Kaufman. Kaufman crashes into the Kopps’ horse drawn buggy with his automobile, destroying the buggy. The sisters are determined that Kaufman should pay $50 for the damage, but he refuses to do so. Eldest sister Constance is determined to get justice even when Kaufman, who has criminal connections, launches a violent war against the family.
This novel is based on the true story of Constance Kopp who became one of the United States’ first female deputy sheriffs.
