Ellen would be alone in their house until they had children. Charlie was working alone rather than with a group of other men, and would be away for days on end working the cattle. They were profoundly and dangerously isolated after they moved to the ranch. Ellen taught for the rest of the year, then resigned her job to marry Charlie. He met Ellen and they both found another dream. Charlie Bacon worked for a local rancher, and his dream was to have his own ranch. She had wanted to travel and Wallace was the most appealing of the two offers she had received. It is the story of their lives together until the end.Įllen came to Wallace to teach. It is not a storybook romance, where the story ends with a kiss or 'I do'. It is the story of the lives of Ellen Webster and Charlie Bacon who met and married in the tiny town of Wallace, Wyoming in 1916. This unforgettable book left me speechless.
