"[A] true-life adventure saga about the female outlaw who robbed a stagecoach at gunpoint in Arizona in 1899."
-New York Times Book Review

The little-known story of Pearl Hart, the most famous female bandit in the American West.

On May 30, 1899, history was made when Pearl Hart, disguised as a man, held up a stagecoach in Arizona and robbed the passengers at gunpoint. A manhunt ensued as word of her heist spread, and Pearl Hart went on to become a media sensation and the most notorious female outlaw on the Western frontier. Her early life, family and fate after her later release from prison have long remained a mystery to scholars and historians--until now.

Drawing on groundbreaking research into territorial records and genealogical data, 's is the first book to uncover the enigma of Pearl Hart. Hailed by many as "The Bandit Queen," her epic life of crime and legacy as a female trailblazer provide a crucial lens into the lives of the rare women who made their mark in the American West.

"Mr. Boessenecker proves a tenacious researcher, with a particular knack for coaxing telling details from newspaper archives." --Wall Street Journal

"A brisk rendering of an adventuresome life." --Kirkus Reviews

"John Boessenecker's writing style is compelling from the very beginning. His research is second to none, and his narrative is fascinating throughout. The book is entertaining, inspiring, alarming and touching in equal measure." --Litercurious
