These Are The Wild West's Most Notorious Female Outlaws

[@GrungeHQ]

Who do you think is the most interesting person from the days of the Wild West?

[@christineparis5607]

Wyatt Earp and his brothers! There were 8 of them at least, and they followed gold strikes, silver finds and other sudden towns that sprang up across the country, running combination brothel/gambling halls. When Wyatt took up with Josephine, she was a Jewish girl from a good San Francisco family. Josephine caught the acting and adventure bug as an underage teen and left with a friend to travel in a show...she called a few guys her "husband" before meeting Wyatt, and they became a couple. She went with him to Alaska to be part of the gold rush. Wyatt and a few of his brothers built a successful brothel next to the Yukon and ran it for at least a year. Wyatt's brothers also had a reputation for being fair and good to their workers, never tolerating abuse or poor manners, and all of them were in "marriages" that were usually not legally binding. It was the way people did things in the days when life was so uncertain along the frontier. Wyatt had originally had a wife and child, but when they died, he never legally contracted another relationship. In spite of that, the Earps went to California, ending up in Los Angeles, where Wyatt took a very young John Wayne under his wing, giving him invaluable support and advice on the real wild west. For the rest of his life, Wyatt was kept on by the movie studios as a consultant. When he was almost 80, he still looked like he did at 30. Josephine was described by relatives as being a small, stout woman with a huge bust and a bustling manner, always managing and busy, while Wyatt liked to relax and pass the time of day quietly with friends. Wyatt died in 1929, having witnessed the incredible expansion of the age, from horseback to trains to cars to planes. To see history being made, then remade as entertainment.

[@oldenweery7510]

The mention that many of these women were "Soiled Doves" reminded me of Julia Bulette, of Virginia City, Nevada, a much beloved woman still remembered today. I first became aware of her from Lucius Beebe's flowery prose in "Steamcars to the Comstock." The Virginia & Truckee Railroad named a club car after her.

[@IKEMENOsakaman]

I don't know why but I have a big fascination to outlaws.

This is cool. I just came across Wenona’s .22 and her badge with her name Lillian Smith. Thanks for the info.

[@jovanweismiller7114]

If fought Eta Place fought in the Mexican-American War she must have had a time machine, since it ended 30 years before she was born! I assume you meant 'Spanish-American War' when she would have been in her 20s.

Belle Starr, Myra Shirley is my cousin on my maternal grandfather's side of family. My great grandmother was married to Frank James for a mere breath if time..he left her to hook up with his brother Jesse to make their life of crime...whew

[@TommyKnockersOverlanding]

I named my daughter after Belle Starr

[@jericaanthony4028]

Lol Harry is my great grandfather times 3 back n Etta place is my great grandmother ..so they did have children n they were married she returned as a teacher

[@khester7397]

Interesting subject matter, well presented. The soundtrack is obnoxious, distracting crap.

[@chris-edward2264]

The loud music was too distracting. I barely watched half of it.

OH YEAH!! I forgot "Lowell" was in that movie!! (Thomas Haden Church) I miss Lowell!!!

Annie McDoulet and Jennie Stevens AKA Cattle Annie and Little Britches are conspicuously absent from this list. They were legitimate bad asses too!

[@katherinekerbow8344]

Very disappointed that I watched this to hear about Calamity Jane and there was no mention of her...wow! Unbelievable...been watching Deadwood and the actress who played her was awesome 👍! That woman was incredible! ❤

[@gadams8160]

Edgar Watson killed Belle Starr. Not known for sure, but certainly not "unknown assailant".

[@penelopelopez8296]

They lacked proof so he couldn’t be prosecuted. Rather ironic, since Belle put up the bail money and hired the lawyers for all of her hoodlum friends to be acquitted of their crimes for lack of evidence and she gets murdered and her killer can’t be prosecuted due to a lack of evidence. She got mixed up with the wrong crowd or she rubbed someone the wrong way. She was only 39 years old when she died but she looked about 65-70.

I wish it was the 1800s now.

[@penelopelopez8296]

I’ll take the 1930s and be happy. I could still start a business or invent something or offer a service and make a living……not so today. If you want to start a business today, you’ll need the big bucks to back you up or you’ll go out of business before you even get started. Everyone will have their hand out for money….from you or you ain’t starting any business on your own. Good luck!

[@963ag]

Me too!

I think social media like fb it etc is when everything started going downhill.... Especially when being and "influencer" is now a job... Its unbelievable and shameful... Most of them...

I’m sure they know who it was but had no evidence to do anything about it. Her murder was planned out….someone took the time to lay in wait, then they ambushed her. She was involved in a lot of criminals.
