  • WELDON.

  • YOU HAVE TO GET A MAP FROM THE CEMETERY AND FIND IT AND THERE'S

  • A GRAVE STONE THAT DOESN'T REALLY SAY WHO SHE WAS.

  • BUT BEFORE WOMEN HAD THE RIGHT TO VOTE, WHEN WOMEN WERE SEEN AS

  • PROPERTY OF THEIR FATHERS OR THEIR HUSBANDS, SHE WENT WEST TO

  • MEET SITTING BULL AND TO SEE HOW SHE COULD BE OF SERVICE, LIKE,

  • HOW SHE COULD BE AN ALLY, AND THE MOVIE CHRONICLES THEIR
