The wild west is a famous period in American history for many reasons. Wagon trails, gold prospecting, ghost towns, and constant conflicts are all pure symbols of life on the western frontier. Most representative of the time period, however, are outlaws and the countless criminals plaguing the western frontier with violence and calamity at every turn. For the most part, no wagon, caravan, train, nor horseback rider was safe in the open, untamed lands of the American West, often due to the high risk of running into cattle rustlers, banditos, and other slick outlaws staking their claim to fame, or rather, infamy, on the vistas of the frontier.

A good portion of the stories about desperados and the criminals of the old west center on the male-dominated profession of being an outlaw. While it makes sense in regards to the culture and lifestyle of gender roles in the 19th century, it didn’t mean there were no savvy women of the west making a name for themselves in the land of outlaws. As an effort to dive deeper into the lives of female criminals and the origins of their misdeeds, here is the first video in a series detailing infamous women of the wild west, who acted as outlaws in the heyday of scum and villainy on the western frontier. Introducing… Pearl Hart, better known as the Lady Bandit.
