Historical Drama

This is an idea for a story. Actually, it's another idea for a historically influenced comic book. I am a nerd.

A while back I heard this news report about a man who was leading a Nazi revival in Iceland, I think. That wasn't all that fascinating. What was fascinating was the fact that the most outspoken opposition to his work was led by none other than his 17 year old daughter.

Now that is inspiring.

So back to the story. It's set in 1880, just outside of San Francisco, and the priniciple characters would be a railroad type baron who employees, and mistreats, a lot of Chinese, and his daughter. Of and a Sheriff. But this railroad camp all of a sudden starts getting terrorized by someone. This someone is also organizing people, calling for rebellions and strikes, etc. The baron-guy calls in all sorts of cool characters from the City to help with the problem. They all go by the wayside and he still can't figure out who's doing this. Of course we all know it's his daughter.

So they have this big dust-up, she probably kills him, etc.

But then the Chinese Exclusion Act comes into play and she's a little crestfallen. She rides off into the sunset, probably leaving some clue to the Sheriff who she's been in love with that it was in fact her who was wreaking havoc on the camp and killed her dad.

Drama!
