Born into a small mining town in the early twentieth century, Mary Knox’s life was never easy. When her father died in a tragic mining accident, leaving her mother to descend into madness, Mary’s world shattered. Thrust into the harsh realities of the welfare system, she endured the unforgiving conditions of the workhouse and orphanage before being indentured as a seamstress at the tender age of fourteen. Determined to rise above her circumstances, Mary spent her teenage years working tirelessly, her persistence and talent rewarded with a position of authority far beyond her years. However, her success was short-lived, as corruption, a failed relationship with a married man, and theft tore her career asunder. In the face of adversity, Mary emerged transformed, her character now imbued with ruthlessness and the ability to think one step ahead. Most importantly, she learned to manipulate the sexual weaknesses of men, becoming the predator rather than the prey. A marriage of convenience provided the opportunity she needed to fully exploit her newfound commitment to success. Through sheer determination, corruption, and cunning, Mary Knox built an empire that would become her only child’s inheritance, establishing the Knox Legacy. This gripping tale of resilience, ambition, and the indomitable human spirit showcases one woman’s unwavering resolve to create a better life for herself and her descendants, no matter the cost.

Fascinating stories are told of the ways in which the Calvinist tradition has contributed much to the building of colonial societies, but also of the ways it has attracted ridicule and derision and has been subject to caricature that is sometimes deserved, sometimes humorous, but often grossly misleading.

The Sandy Knoll Murder, Legacy of the Sheepshooters is the true story of the high-profile 1904 murder of John Creed Conn, who disappeared in the midst of central Oregon's bloody range war period. That circumstance has always been believed to have precipitated his death. Sensational and intriguing, the details of the murder held the reading public in rapt attention with articles appearing on the front page of the Oregonian for nine months after Conn's mysterious disappearance. It is not very often that a prominent man, a celebrity, vanishes from the main street of an Oregon town in broad daylight. And even less often does a missing man's body reappear on a small, sandy knoll outside of that same town seven weeks later. This work is the result of six years of painstaking research that encompassed eighty other homicides and suspicious deaths of the period, Conn's life and relationships, the circumstances of his death, and all that was ever written by and about the sheepshooters. All of the planning that the killer put into making Conn vanish showed a high level of control and organization on his part. But, he did unwittingly leave some clues to his identity, and they could be traced like fingerprints through the ink of the newspapers of the day. Other clues were left like footprints in the soil surrounding the Sandy Knoll and in the behaviors that he exhibited there. Conn was the brother of a district attorney and a member of a politically prominent and well-connected family. He was a local celebrity and a respected figure, and there could be no doubt that a massive man hunt and investigation would ensue. Every effort has been made to adhere to the facts of the case, long-held as the legacy of the sheepshooters. The Creed Conn murder was then, and remains today, one of the most sensational in the history of the state of Oregon.
