She Escaped Slavery in 1864 and Became the Only Woman Outlaws Were Afraid to Face Forgotten History

In the fall of 1878, an Arkansas farmer plowed up a buried rifle wrapped in a cotton sack stitched with 11 names. Nine matched federal death warrants. The others vanished from all records. One of those names belonged to a woman the Choctaw trails called Nani – the only bounty hunter on the American frontier that outlaws were afraid to face. This is the forgotten true story of a woman who escaped slavery in 1864, crossed the Mississippi River on a stolen flatboat, and rode alone into the Indian Territory to hunt the men the law would not touch. She operated without a posse, without backup, without ever signing her name. She collected bounties through a single intermediary. And when she found the seven men she was searching for, their bodies were never seen again – just a single filed bone bead left behind.
