Legendary Ladies of the Wild West: The Fearless Queen of the Outlaws, Pearl Hart...

The wild west is a famous period in American history for many reasons. Wagon trails, gold prospecting, ghost towns, and constant conflicts are all pure symbols of life on the western frontier. Most representative of the time period, however, are outlaws and the countless criminals plaguing the western frontier with violence and calamity at every turn. For the most part, no wagon, caravan, train, nor horseback rider was safe in the open, untamed lands of the American West, often due to the high risk of running into cattle rustlers, banditos, and other slick outlaws staking their claim to fame, or rather, infamy, on the vistas of the frontier.
A good portion of the stories about desperados and the criminals of the old west center on the male-dominated profession of being an outlaw. While it makes sense in regards to the culture and lifestyle of gender roles in the 19th century, it didn’t mean there were no savvy women of the west making a name for themselves in the land of outlaws. As an effort to dive deeper into the lives of female criminals and the origins of their misdeeds, here is the first video in a series detailing infamous women of the wild west, who acted as outlaws in the heyday of scum and villainy on the western frontier. Introducing… Pearl Hart, better known as the Lady Bandit.

I recently visited her crypt at Rose Hills Memorial Park in Whittier CA. She died at 1940 South McDonnell Avenue in East Los Angeles on May 9th, 1935. The house is still there. I am on my way to Globe now to retrace her tracks from there to Florence, Mammoth, Benson and Bisbee.

Pearl heart traveled back to Ontario to be with her dying mother

[@jamesdeen3011]

Her sentence seems harsh for no more that she had done given that during that time people were getting away litterly with murder.

[@gabeparmley]

Actually was quite a light sentence all considering. People tried for murder rarely got away with it. Train and bank robbers were often executed even if they didn't commit murder. Same with horse thieves. The truth is that sentencing varied drastically depending on the territory/State and the jurisdiction penalizing.

That's because she was a female women had a hard time in those days

[@missourimongoose8858]

Ummm you do realize they used to hang horse thieves back in the day right? And we don't hang car thieves now right?

[@davidmuir7711]

That’s not so. There was definitely law, and those outlaws did not shoot people and just go on about their day. There were charges and warrants. Every effort was made to bring all malefactors to a courtroom.
