""Belle Starr, The Bandit Queen"" by William Yancey Shackleford is a biographical account of the life and career of one of the most infamous outlaws in the history of the Indian Territory - Belle Starr. Born in Missouri in 1848, Belle Starr grew up in a family of Confederate sympathizers and was exposed to a life of crime at an early age. She married several times and eventually settled in the Indian Territory, where she became involved in horse theft, bootlegging, and other illegal activities.Despite her criminal activities, Belle Starr was known for her charm, wit, and beauty, and she became a legend in her own time. She was often seen wearing a long black riding coat and carrying a pistol, and she was known to ride a white horse named Venus. She associated with other famous outlaws of the time, such as Jesse James and Cole Younger, and was rumored to have had a romantic relationship with the notorious outlaw, Sam Starr.The book provides a detailed account of Belle Starr's life, including her many run-ins with the law and her eventual death in 1889. It also explores the myths and legends that have grown up around her, and the ways in which she has been portrayed in popular culture.
