A Tale of Merriam and McLane Amid West Coast Plans
An 1890s romance unfolds with Fannie McLane, her husband Randolp Merriam, and the Grations. Headlines follow a shooting in San Diego, public intrigue, and a shifting widow’s fortunes as Frances McLane navigates inheritance, family rivalries, and a western visit that tests loyalties and social bonds. The story sketches marriage, scandal, and a power struggle within kin and business circles as they travel from New York to California and beyond.
