Hi! Winnie Griggs here. <em>(pssst - look for giveaway info at the bottom of this post)</em>

I was thumbing through one of those 'infamous women of the old west' type books the other day and  came across a listing for a woman named Pearl Hart. The heading of <em>First Female Captured Stagecoach Robber</em> caught my eye. And the more I read about this woman, the more fascinated I became with her story. I did some additional research and found a number of different, sometimes contradictory, accounts of her life. I’ll stitch together my favorites here.

<a href="http://petticoatsandpistols.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/P.Hart-03.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-32602" title="P.Hart 03" src="http://petticoatsandpistols.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/P.Hart-03.jpg" alt="" width="212" height="255" /></a>While there is very little know about her early life, we do know that she was born Pearl Taylor in 1871 and lived the early part of her life in Ontario, Canada. She was one of several children born into an upper middle-class, church going family. At age sixteen she was sent to a boarding school, but she had an adventurous spirit that couldn’t be contained. That, combined with her attractiveness and wit made her quite popular with the men of her acquaintance.

While at school Pearl became infatuated with a young man named Hart and eloped at about age 17. Hart has variously been described as a rake, a drunk and a gambler. Far from this being the romantic adventure Pearl had hoped for, it turned out Hart was also abusive. She left him and then returned to him several times and it is reported they had two children together. During their last reconciliation, the couple worked odd jobs the Chicago World’s Fair. There Pearl saw Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show and developed a fascination for the cowboy life that would stay with her her entire life. She also visited the Women’s Pavilion where she heard speeches by prominent women’s activists such as Julia Ward Howe.

Finally leaving Hart for good, Pearl placed the children in the care of her mother and took up with a man named Dan Bandman, a gambler and dance-hall musician. The two eventually moved to Colorado.

Later, when Dan left to fight in the Spanish-American War, Pearl moved to Globe Arizona, a mining town. There are various reports that she may have worked as a cook, a singer, a laundress and/or opened a tent brothel. It is also said that she developed a fondness for cigar and liquor at this time. Pearl described her life at this time in these words: "I was only twenty-two years old. I was good-looking, desperate, discouraged, and ready for anything that might come. I do not care to dwell on this period of my life. It is sufficient to say that I went from one city to another..."

<a href="http://petticoatsandpistols.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/P.Hart-02.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-32601" title="P.Hart 02" src="http://petticoatsandpistols.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/P.Hart-02-189x300.jpg" alt="" width="198" height="313" /></a>Whatever her employment, Pearl’s finances hit bottom when the mine closed. Trying to find a way to earn money, she took up with a man named Joe Boot and together they tried to work an old mine claim he owned. But by 1899 the pair found themselves short on cash and decided to rob a stage, though it appears neither had done anything like this before. One account claims they took this desperate measure because Pearl had gotten word that her mother was ill and needed money, though there is little to substantiate this claim.

Pearl cut her hair and dressed up like a man. Both armed with revolvers, they stopped a stage running between Florence and Globe at the Cane Springs Canyon watering point. They collected $421 from the three passengers on board. Pearl then reportedly took pity on them and gave them back each $1.00 so they could buy a meal at the next stop.

But their lack of experience did them in. They did a poor job of covering their tracks and within six days the law had caught up with them. One account states that they were sleeping when the posses caught up with them and that while Joe surrendered quickly but Pearl tried, unsuccessfully, to fight her way out.

Joe and Pearl were locked in the local jail. But the notoriety and attention Pearl received as a female bandit, coupled with the lack of proper facilities, caused the sheriff to throw up his hands and send her to the jail in Tucson. Pearl’s notoriety grew, and she did all she could to fuel it. Her story about her reason for the robbery (her ailing mother) gained her sympathy, and her avowal that she "would never consent to be tried under a law she or her sex had no voice in making, or to which a woman had no power under the law to give her consent" gained her a whole new level of attention.

Never one to give up on her options, within a matter of days Pearl had charmed some of the men at the Tucson prison and managed to escape. Unfortunately for her, a New Mexico lawman recognized her and sent her back to the Tucson prison.

&nbsp;

Joe Boot was eventually sentenced to 30 years in jail and Pearl to five. Pearl was given the dubious honor of being the first woman incarcerated into the Yuma Territorial Prison. But neither Pearl nor Joe served their full terms. Joe, apparently due to a show of good behavior, was given trustee status. He walked off while working outside the gates less than two years into his term and was never heard from again.

Pearl, on the other hand, gained her freedom legitimately, well, sort of. The warden of the jail where Pearl was imprisoned like all the attention she was attracting from the public and the media. He provided her with a roomy 8 x10 cell as well as a small yard which gave her a space to entertain reporters, photographers and other guests. Pearl, who was the only female incarcerated in the facility, was not above using her wiles to play guards and trustees off of each other to improve her situation.

<img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-32603" title="Yuma Prison" src="http://petticoatsandpistols.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Yuma-Prison-300x196.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="196" />

In December of 1902, Pearl received a pardon from the governor and was released free and clear. The official reason for the pardon remains unclear, but it was given on condition that she leave the Arizona territory. Pearl herself claimed that she had been invited to play the lead in a play her sister had penned based on her life and this had played into her release. However, a later rumor emerged that she had became pregnant. The governor, wanting to spare the Arizona Territory the embarrassment of explaining how this could possibly have happened while she was imprisoned, pardoned her and set her free. While there is no proof that Pearl ever bore a third child, this doesn’t mean the wily woman didn’t use this as a ploy to secure her freedom.

There are varying accounts of what happened to Pearl after she was released. Some say she parlayed her notoriety into a show business career, billing herself as “The Arizona Bandit.” One account says she traveled for a while with Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show. A less colorful theory is that she married a rancher named Calvin Bywater and settled down into a quite but happier life. If that last is true, then perhaps Pearl got her “happily ever after” after all. Folks who knew Mrs. Bywater described her as “soft spoken, kind, and a good citizen in all respects.” Mrs. Calvin Bywater lived well into her 80s.

As I said earlier, there are a number of different accounts of Pearl’s life and this is only one of them. Her exploits have been featured in theater, film and pulp fiction. There was even a musical called The Legend Of Pearl Hart. And while we may never know the full true story of her life, there is no doubt that she lived it on her own terms.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I want to welcome my good friend <a href="http://www.paisleykirkpatrick.com">Paisley Kirkpatrick</a> to Wildflower Junction. Paisley is one of the first writers I met when starting on my quest for publication and has become a beloved friend and critique partner :) I'm thrilled to say her first western historical NIGHT ANGEL will be hitting bookstores this August, with many more to follow in her Paradise Pines western series. She's graciously agreed to fill in for me today and tonight we will give away reader's-choice of my e-books to one comment poster <em>~Stacey Kayne</em>

&nbsp;

<em><a href="http://petticoatsandpistols.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Paisley-Kirkpatrick.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-30046" title="Paisley Kirkpatrick" src="http://petticoatsandpistols.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Paisley-Kirkpatrick.jpg" alt="" width="104" height="184" /></a></em>

My Mother gave me a great gift -- five, three-inch binders full of the history of my family. Apparently I come from a group with a colorful past and have used some of their activities in my stories. She often spoke of the ranch at La Honda and I treasure some items that belonged to my grandfather while he lived there. When I first started blogging, I found this great story and love to share it with others.

&nbsp;

<em>The following accounting was obtained from Roscoe Wyatt, Oscar John and Walter Ray.  Oscar and Walter both remember the Younger brothers in person.  Wyatt was a conscientious historian.  Personal interviews included two of my family members:  Emma John Weeks and Percy Weeks.  Oscar John (87 at the time of the interview) worked on the Bandit Built Store.  He knew the Younger brothers from when they hid out on his La Honda ranch.   </em>

&nbsp;

Among the men hired to build John Sears’ store, referred to as the ‘Bandit-Built Store’ in 1877 were the Younger brothers from Forsyth, Kansas.   At that time no one in La Honda, CA, knew them as the Younger brothers, because they were posing as cousins to Oscar John and Walter Ray.  Jim Younger actually lived behind the Redwood City Court House for one year using the name of Joe Hardin.

&nbsp;

[caption id="attachment_30047" align="alignleft" width="191" caption="Three Younger brothers and their sister"]<a href="http://petticoatsandpistols.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Younger-family.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-30047" title="Younger family" src="http://petticoatsandpistols.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Younger-family.jpg" alt="" width="191" height="264" /></a>[/caption]

Cole, Jim, Bob and John Younger lived in Forsyth, Kansas on their father’s ranch in May, 1861, when the Civil War broke out.  Cole, the youngest son, joined the Confederate Army and became a colonel.  In November of that year, a short leave gave him a chance to visit his parents.  As he approached the ranch, he found the place engulfed in flames.  A band of Union troops and local Northern sympathizers reached the ranch before him and stole all of the stock before burning the grain, corn, and feed.  They also threw his youngest sister, who suffered from tuberculosis, out on the cold ground, causing her death.  When their father discovered what had happened and put up a fight, they hung him from a tree on the ranch.  This left their mother, oldest sister, Molly, and three younger brothers homeless.

&nbsp;

Within hours Cole, along with a friend, organized local Southern sympathizers and within a few hours they started wiping out their enemies.  It’s reported that Cole alone killed one hundred men that he knew had something to do with his father’s and sister’s death.  By the end of the war, Cole had a price on his head for desertion, killing for revenge, and a long list of other charges.  He left his family in the care of his cousin, John Jarret’s parents.  He, John Jarret and a few friends left for California where they hoped to find sanctuary at his uncle’s ranch in San Jose, but ended up using a ranch in La Honda as their hideout.

&nbsp;

Oscar John and his stepfather met the gang as they rode onto the ranch.  Oscar was ten years old at the time.  He recalls unsaddling ten horses.  Everyone but Cole Younger and John Jarret left the ranch.  They helped build the lakeside Ray ranch into a large two-story building.  Cole and John traveled back to Kansas in order to bring the rest of their family west.  They learned their mother had died and that Jim and Bob Younger had been accomplices to the James gang robberies.  Cole was convinced the Ray ranch was the best place for the remainder of his family until everything blew over.

&nbsp;

They arrived back in La Honda August, 1876, when big changes were happening.   A new sawmill belonging to R.J. Weeks (my ancestor) opened and John Sears just started clearing an old bear pit site for his store and hotel.  At last luck was with the Younger family.  Oscar John talked John Sears into hiring his cousins from the east, no questions asked.  The three brothers and John Jarret went to work on the store.  Oscar John recalls seeing Cole shingling the roof of the store.  When the store was finished, the men returned to the Ray ranch to work the harvest.

&nbsp;

John Jarret spent that season at the Ray ranch, one season in Redwood City and then went back east.  He returned the next year and started work on my family’s ranch.  While he was there, he married Molly Younger, thereby becoming Cole’s brother-in-law as well as cousin.

&nbsp;

The James Brothers were planning to rob the Northfield Bank in Minnesota.  They couldn’t pull the job by themselves and no longer trusted their gang.  They sent a message to Cole by a man named Giles.  Since the Youngers knew Northfield, they expected them to participate in the robbery.  Frank and Jesse James sent a message stating that if the Youngers refused to come, they would have them exposed to the law.  Cole decided to participate to save his sister and brother-in-law.  He left a rare set of pearl handled pistols with Jarret at the Weeks Ranch.  He realized if he got caught with them, they’d be a dead giveaway as to his identity.

&nbsp;

[caption id="attachment_30048" align="alignleft" width="204" caption="Cole Younger Gang"]<a href="http://petticoatsandpistols.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Cole-Younger-Gang.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-30048" title="Cole Younger Gang" src="http://petticoatsandpistols.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Cole-Younger-Gang.jpg" alt="" width="204" height="248" /></a>[/caption]

Cole had an agreement with Jesse James that this bank robbery would be their last appearance in the mid-west.  Jesse assured Cole that after this job, they would never have to worry about money again.   Unfortunately, the robbery went wrong.  During their escape Jim Younger was shot in the jaw.  Jesse wanted to kill Jim because it would hinder to their escape.  Cole absolutely refused.  So, while Jim lay bleeding in a wet creek bottom, the James brothers made a clean getaway.  The Younger brothers gave themselves up to the law to save Jim from bleeding to death.  Cole, Jim and Bob Younger were sentenced to serve terms in the Minnesota Penitentiary.

&nbsp;

When John Jarret learned what had happened to his brothers-in-law, he happened to be working away from the Weeks ranch and only coming home on the weekends.   Giles showed up at the ranch with a forged note from Cole.  Molly wasn’t home so he gave the note to their housekeeper.  It was written to Molly and asked that she give Giles the two rare guns.  The note stated that Cole’s prison term was just about up and that he wanted to sell the guns so he could get a new start in life.  The housekeeper, remembering Giles from his first trip, thought he was on the level and handed over the guns.  Jarret, for some unknown reason, came home that night and found Giles there with the guns in his possession.  After he read the letter, he knew it was forged because Cole always wrote in of care of him, not Molly.  Giles confessed that he had a chance to sell the guns to an Illinois museum.

&nbsp;

Jim Bartley, La Honda rancher and teamster, visited the Younger brothers at the Northfield, Minnesota Penitentiary.  He learned that an old sweetheart of Jim Younger visited him regularly.  She promised to marry him when he got out of prison.  Jim looked forward to that day, planning once more to start life anew.  However, the woman turned him down when he got out.  His heart was broken.  Having nothing to live for, he rented a room at a cheap boarding house and shot himself through the head.

&nbsp;

Cole and Bob dropped into obscurity after serving their terms.

&nbsp;

There was a lot of unjustified killing and bad deeds that happened during the Civil War. I know what the brothers did was not right, but maybe they thought it was the only way to get justice. I don't know how I would have reacted if I'd come upon the slaughter of my family members. It was a rough time in our history. Do you think they overreacted or that maybe hunting down the killers was justified?]]></content:encoded>

Does the man have some redeeming quality she can see right off?

In my "Lawmen and Outlaws" Christmas Anthology novella,<a title="Buy Link" href="http://www.amazon.com/Lawmen-Outlaws-Christmas-Anthology-McKee/dp/1601548303/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1322502821&amp;sr=1-1" target="_blank"> Christmas for Ransom</a>, available both in print and e-book, schoolmarm Eliza Willows  falls in love with an outlaw when the handsome stranger hires her to teach him to read. Of course she’s unaware he’s the bad guy who thieved her granny’s prized Morgan horses smack dab during Thanksgiving dinner. Even when Eliza finds out his true identity, her heart has already been stolen…and Canyon Jack Ransom’s grown a conscience. He vows to become respectable and does all the right things to stay in her heart.

Today I’ll be giving away a signed copy (U.S.A.) or an e-copy (international) after drawing a name from today’s commenters.

<a title="buy link" href="http://www.amazon.com/Lawmen-Outlaws-Christmas-Anthology-McKee/dp/1601548303/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1322502821&amp;sr=1-1" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-20083" title="LawmenAndOutlawsChristmasAnthology_w5139_680[1]" src="http://petticoatsandpistols.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/LawmenAndOutlawsChristmasAnthology_w5139_6801-181x300.jpg" alt="" width="181" height="300" /></a>

Well, today let’s look at a real life good girl who fell for a bad guy. Schoolteacher Anna Ralston, daughter of a wealthy Independence MO businessman, held a Bachelor of Arts degree in Science and Literature from Missouri State College. Truth is, she was one of its first female graduates.

“Annie” is the woman who snared Alexander Franklin James, aka Frank James, and eloped with him in July 1875.  When she pretended to visit her brother-in-law in Kansas City, Frank waited for her on the train, the elopement already arranged.

<a href="http://petticoatsandpistols.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Anna-Ralston-James-pic.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-28605" title="Anna Ralston James pic" src="http://petticoatsandpistols.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Anna-Ralston-James-pic-192x300.jpg" alt="" width="192" height="300" /></a>

No one ever knew how or when the couple met. But it is known Frank wasn’t only a rough and tumble baddie. As a youth, he’d devoured the books in his father’s library and even as an outlaw, quoted Shakespeare at will. His father, a farmer and Baptist minister, co-founded the William Jewell College in Liberty, Missouri. So maybe it’s not all that surprising that Frank chose an educator who loved literature. And with him described by the Kansas City <em>Times</em> as a “notable knight of the road” and “dashing and daring,” perhaps it’s not surprising Annie fell for him.

Two days after her departure for Kansas City, her parents received a brief note from her that said, “Dear Mother: I am married and going West. Annie Reynolds”

Not recognizing the name Reynolds, they figured she’d run off with a gambler they’d heard about. Putting their sons on her trail, her parents eventually learned of Annie’s marriage to the outlaw. Her father advised the family to treat the matter philosophically. Nothing could be done now, he said, and the less said about it the better.

Annie and Frank had one son, Robert Franklin James, born February 6, 1878. Four years later, after brother Jesse’s murder, Frank gave himself up, wanting peace after being hunted for twenty-one years.

Found not guilty for two robberies/murders (the juries cited lack of evidence), Frank became respectable for the last thirty years of his life. He gave lecture tours with his old crony Cole Younger and worked for the telegraph before returning to the James Farm in Kearney, Missouri to give tours. He died an honorable man on February 18, 1915. Fearing his grave would be desecrated for souvenirs, he decreed his ashes would be kept hidden until he and Annie could be buried together.

(Excerpt from Chapter Two,  Christmas for Ransom:

<em>Pinching herself, Eliza lost interest in everything except seeing what the stranger looked like in the lantern light. Brawny stalwart men were nothing new in a railroad town or on the ranch, but she never minded a good view.</em>

<em>Her breath caught so hard her sore rib tweaked. He was magnificent. The big-brimmed hat and flowing duster reckoned him a wrangler of some sort coming in from the range. Although he needed a bath and truly looked the worse for wear, she didn’t mind one single bit. The scruffy cheeks, the long rag-taggle coat, even the scent of masculine sweat were far more her style than the slick-haired dandies and overdressed fops she’d met at Boston cotillions.</em>

<em>“This here’s Ransom,” the blacksmith said helpfully.</em>

<em>As the stranger moved closer, he removed his hat and tucked it under his arm with a polite half-nod. For a long luscious moment, eyes the color of manly liquor covered her with a mouth-watering gaze. Golden-brown hair touched the mountains of his shoulders like sunlight at dawn across the Guadalupe Mountains.</em>

<em>Air left her lungs. A slow burn started at the top of her spine, her flesh desperate for the days’ worth of roughness adorning cheekbones carved like crags and valleys. She had to hold her hand still to keep her fingers from caressing the deep etches of his face.</em>

<em>Eliza couldn’t move as she stared up at him, aching and eager.</em>

Now, for a Christmas story about a real GOOD man, my latest release, <em>Right to Bragg</em>, is a short, sweet holiday read.

<strong><a href="http://petticoatsandpistols.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/linda-sig.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1630" title="linda-sig.jpg" src="http://petticoatsandpistols.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/linda-sig.jpg" alt="" width="217" height="59" /></a>With the release of our July anthology called <em><span style="color: #0000ff;">GIVE ME A TEXAS OUTLAW</span></em> my thoughts have been firmly anchored on history's bad boys. And Kansas had its share of them. Last month on a publicity tour to kick off the release Phyliss Miranda and I traveled up to Liberal, Kansas. From there, a dear man by the name of Tom St. Aubyn showed us the sights. We can never thank you enough, Tom! </strong>

<strong>One place that tickled our fancy was the small town of Meade. It's home to the Dalton Gang Hideout. </strong>

<strong>Seems Grat, Bob, and Emmett Dalton's sister, Eva married J.N. Whipple and settled down on Pearlette Street. The house perched on sort of a bluff and had a barn down below.</strong>

<strong><a href="http://petticoatsandpistols.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Eva-Daltons-home.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-25802" title="Eva Dalton's home" src="http://petticoatsandpistols.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Eva-Daltons-home-300x218.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="218" /></a>The Dalton Boys, being quick to spy an opportunity, constructed a 95 foot tunnel from the barn up to the basement of Eva's residence. They placed wooden beams across an old rain wash and piled dirt over the top of it. It suited their needs to a tee. They could come and go undetected while also protecting their sister's identity. No one in Meade knew the Daltons were related to Eva Whipple and they wanted to keep it that way. </strong>

<strong>Like so many other outlaws at the time, the Daltons, who were related to the Younger brothers, started out in law enforcement before they began robbing banks and trains. They must've loved the outlaw life because they kept at it until 1892 when the gang faced a hail of bullets while robbing a bank in Coffeyville, Kansas. Grat and Bob along with two other gang members were killed. Emmett Dalton received 23 bullet wounds but survived. He was given a life sentence in a Kansas penitentiary. He served 14 years before being pardoned. </strong>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><a href="http://petticoatsandpistols.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Phyliss-n-Dalton-Gang-Tunnel.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-25803" title="Phyliss 'n Dalton Gang Tunnel" src="http://petticoatsandpistols.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Phyliss-n-Dalton-Gang-Tunnel-300x224.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="224" /></a>Phyliss at the tunnel
</strong></p>
<strong>In the meanwhile, the bank in Meade foreclosed on Eva and J.N.'s house and they were forced to vacate. Several new owners occupied the Whipple house and eventually the escape tunnel was found. </strong>

<strong>In the early 1940's the WPA reinforced the tunnel with stone quarried from the Clark Ranch east of Meade and the hideout was turned into a tourist attraction. </strong>

<strong>Today the hideout is owned and operated by the Meade County Historical Society. A wonderful man by the name of Marc Ferguson is the curator in addition to being one of their historical reenactors.</strong>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>
</strong></p>
<strong>Eva's home is now a museum and is furnished much as it was in her day. </strong>

<strong>If you're ever in Meade, stop by and say hello. Walk the tunnel and browse in the really nice gift shop. And if you're lucky and get a chance to catch Marc playing the role of Doc Holliday you're in for a real treat. </strong>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><a href="http://petticoatsandpistols.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Linda-Doc-Phyliss.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-25805" title="Linda, Doc, Phyliss" src="http://petticoatsandpistols.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Linda-Doc-Phyliss-300x291.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="291" /></a>
</strong></p>
<strong>You can find out more about the hideout <a href="http://www.kansastravel.org/daltonhideout.htm"><span style="color: #ff0000;">HERE</span></a> . </strong>

<strong>Phyliss and I enjoyed our trip and can't wait to go back. We'll not soon forget all the warm friendly people we met. </strong>

<strong>Have you ever visited a historical site that stayed with you long after you left?</strong>
