First of all, I am so impressed by how she got her skills together, made her preparations, and had the courage to carry off an expedition to recover her husband's honor.<br /><br />Of course, the press being the thrill seeking exploitive people they are even to this day, made a mockery of this courageous and intelligent woman. It seems they always attempt to destroy the character of Sarah J.

Makes me wonder what happened in her later life to cause her to possibly end her life. Perhaps a terminal illness which she couldn't face?
