White Lady Road

North Dakota · USA · Bridge

A travelling salesman took a farmer's daughter walking on a remote North Dakota road. At the bridge over the swamp he made his move, and she refused him.

The account belongs to the era of travelling salesmen, when a stranger with a case was one of the few people who came through a farming district at all.

One of them fell for a farmer's daughter near Leroy, North Dakota. He took her walking on a remote road. When they reached the bridge over the swampy ground he made his move, she refused him, and he killed her.

What drivers report on that road at night is her.

No names and no record accompany the account, and it should be read as folklore. The shape of it is instructive: a story warning young women in an isolated community about the one category of man who arrived, was not known to anybody, and left again.

The road is public and runs through country that is still very empty.
