Summary
:
"A riveting, deeply researched, blood-on-the-spurs biography of Belle Starr, the most legendary female outlaw of the American West"-- Provided by publisher.
Belle Starr, born Myra Maybelle Shirley, was a notorious outlaw of the American West who led a gang of horse thieves and had romantic ties to famous criminals like Cole Younger and Jim Reed. Despite her privileged upbringing, she embraced a life of crime marked by violence, personal tragedy, and prison time. Starr's life ended violently in 1889 when she was murdered near her home in Indian Territory. Her story, full of contradictions and resilience, presents a complex and unconventional female figure in contrast to contemporary women's rights icons.
