Summary note
"This collection of short, action-filled stories of the Old West's most egregiously badly behaved female outlaws is a great addition to Western author Robert Barr Smith's books on the American frontier. Pulling together stories of ladies caught in the acts of mayhem, distraction, murder, and highway robbery. It includes famous names like Belle Starr and lesser known characters as well. The book also contains archival illustrations and photographs"--Provided by publisher.
