Lily Casey Klasner lived side by side with outlaws and Indians and could hold her own with any of them. Born in Texas in 1867, she walked much of the way to New Mexico with her parents in 1867. An Indian raid robbed the Caseys of most of their cattle and provisions. Her father was murdered when she was 13, and Lily quickly assumed family leadership.
