New Publications 2005-06-01 2 .pdf application/pdf 1117 61 67 Belle Starr: The Bandit Queen, by Burton Rascoe (340 pages, November 2004), is a re­ print of the 1941 biography that attempts to synthesize what was known at the time about the legendary female outlaw Belle Starr (1848–1889), born Maybelle Shirley in Jasper County, Missouri. Although portrayed in American fi lms as a gun­slinging des­ perado, Belle Starr was more an indi­ vidualist survivor in a frontier stacked against women who made poor choices in marriage partners. cache/crln-7469.pdf txt/crln-7469.txt
