"I have never believed that
all the girls who lived in the so-called Wild West were hard-drinking,
hard-bitten types. The movies have tried to promote that idea, but
in my opinion it was only to add 'color'. . . I think my 'New Girl
in Town' would have fit into any society and if you look real close
you'll see that she is carrying the yellow rose of Texas." -Donald
Teague
