RE: Wild Women of the West Part 2: Squirrel Tooth Alice

in #history6 years ago

Howdy sir fotosdenada! yes sir it was amazing that she lived that long after being involved in all the stuff she was, probably drugs, cigarrettes and cigars and whiskey were all there too if she was typical as the others in her field. I'm not sure I understand about the nature and nurture though, you mean were her kids trained to follow in their parents' steps?
Did you post today?

Sort:  

Nature vs nurture refers to how much was in their genes and how much came from how they were brought up. Sex, drugs, alcohol, and married to a murderer... Living past 50 would have been impressive.

haha! yes sir I agree in fact the average life expectancy in that time period was something like 57 years old or something, I'm sure it was higher for women though but still, not 98!
