Local author spins an exciting tale

The record says she was a flame-haired beauty who could ride and shoot as well as any man, all while carrying herself like a lady. History is disputed over where she came from and how she met her end. But Philadelphia author Gerald Koplan has mixed history with fiction to the story of "Etta."
