Born and raised as Myra Maybelle Shirley, a young woman’s life changed forever at the age of sixteen when famed outlaw Jesse James hid with her family.

From that moment on, she knew that she wanted to be an outlaw. This would begin her first of many relationships with famed outlaws, and her reputation would grow as she traded her life as a lady for a spot among prominent criminals.

When she married Sam Starr, another famous outlaw, she changed her name to Belle Starr—a name that would go down in history.

Belle lived a life of crime, eventually slowing down to focus on her community and her family, but she wasn’t safe just yet.

Her murder would shock the world.
