Lotta  Crabtree
After a short courtship, she married me in '81 and has put up with my s--t ever since, bless her heart. When I started CAS, she encouraged me to enjoy to my hearts content, "You've finally found a club that was made for you. Just don't make me go with you. This is your thing." Well she came along for an out of state shoot then I got into re-enacting. Always participating in church and community theatre, she couldn't sit on the side lines any longer. She went to the local library and researched women of the old west. She could really identify with Lotta Crabtree, an actress along the Gold Coast of California from the 1850's to 1880's. She was even more surprised that the alias was available.
Lotta is a SASS life member with her own pair of nickel six shooters and an extensive wardrobe. She has started Lotta's Mercantile and was a vendor at the 1st Utah War.
