Sammie Logue

From The Great Outdoor Fight

1936 Champion. The second-to-last woman to win the Great Outdoor Fight, Sammie Logue (1919 - Present) made an unlikely champion. Scalped on Day 1 of the Fight, she roamed the Acres in an apparent daze until sundown. That night she strangled several men with her severed locks. Throughout Day 2 she wandered the field in an apparent state of Dutch fugue, though a handful of survivors claimed she was totally lucid during the Fight. Her actions in Day 3 spurred much discussion of possible committal to the Happy Dale Sanitarium for the Criminally Insane. A snapshot taken by famed photographer Dorothea Lange, showing Sammie, her face caked in blood and dirt, garroting one-time expected champ Boss Aaron while standing serenely amid a pile of bodies became an enduring representation of both the Great Outdoor Fight and the struggle of the American working class in the Great Depression. This photo caused Sammie to become known as The Dusty Dreamer.

Logue is also the only champion to win the Great Outdoor Fight by beating a woman (see second-place finisher Drew 'The Chin' Mitchum for details). She claimed the Championship in Day 3, precisely at sundown.

The grit and steely determination showed by Sammie Logue forever put to rest the notion that women were unfit for the Great Outdoor Fight.

Quotes:

I see it now. I see everything. - Possible apocryphal quote spoken during the strangulation of Boss Aaron.

Pain? What does a man know about pain?

Jesus Christ. I've seen a lot of things in my life, but, honestly, nothin' compared to that. - 1933 Champ Young Jude Surrency in reaction to Sammie Logue's "Wisdom Tooth Takedown" of the Thanatos Nine Gang.
