Historical
It is while she is awaiting trial for an armed stagecoach robbery that newspaper reporters dub Pearl Hart the Bandit Queen. That is before her desperate escape from jail and her dramatic re-capture. Before she is done, she will earn the dubious honor of being the first woman sent to the infamous Yuma Penitentiary in the Arizona Territory. Award-winning author Jane Candia Coleman has written this gripping, uncompromising narrative in Pearl Hart's own unique voice. Based on the memoirs of the woman who lived it, this drama goes behind the headlines to follow the Bandit Queen's journey from her home in Toledo, Ohio, to the boom camps of the Arizona Territory, to the hard scrabble life of an outlaw.
