SARASOTA, Fla. (WWSB) - Deadwood, South Dakota. Home to the Black Hills Gold Rush in 1877. Home to the very wealthy Franklin family. So when I learned young Mildred Franklin married Robert Gamble and moved to Florida, I could only assume she married Major Robert Gamble of the historic Gamble Plantation on the Suncoast. But you know what they say about “assuming”. I was in for a big surprise.
