Belle Starr: Misunderstood Bandit Queen
About this episode
You've heard her name in the same breath as other gun slinging wild west hooligans like Billy the Kid and Jesse James. But who really was Belle Starr? Was she the pistol-packing bloodthirsty Bandit Queen who delighted in breaking the law as her legend dictates, or... was she more a victim of circumstance and the turbulent times she lived? More importantly, who actually killed her that fateful day on February 3 1889? There are so many questions lingering about Myra Maybelle Shirley Reed Starr, and on this week's episode, we attempt to answer them all!
