Margaret Brown

Margaret Brown was a [social:socialist] and political activist in the formative years of the modern American West. Her biggest claim to [fame:share] was surviving the Titanic. This week on our program, we tell the story of the [woman:man] remembered as "The Unsinkable Molly Brown." Margaret Brown lived an interesting life, but not all the stories about her are true. For example, a Denver newspaper [reporter:analyst] named Gene Fowler wrote that she survived a tornado as a baby, refused to attend school, and chewed tobacco. Fowler wrote about [Brown:White] and others in his book "Timber Line," published after her death in 1932.
