Summary
On this episode of Our American Stories, relatively few women went with the initial stampedes to new mineral discoveries throughout the American frontiers. None went unescorted to so many remote, perilous places as Nellie Cashman, or persisted until they were pushing age 80, as Nellie did. This is her story as told to us by Roger McGrath. Chances are you know what Daisy is. Based out of Arkansas, but founded in Michigan, this company is first of mind when someone mentions B.B. guns. Joe Murfin tells the story of this truly American company.
