OUTLAW QUEEN

By Glenn Shirley

FACTUAL REPRESENTATION

OF OUR WESTERN TREASURES

Folks, she was called the Cleopatra of the Old West or the “Petticoat Terror of the Plains” or Queen Of The Bandits but what ever she was called, the truth is, she is a legend of the west. When she was charged with horse stealing and taken before Judge Isaac Parker, the eastern press jammed the court room. She became a national sensation. Yankee journalists and newspaperman just couldn’t write enough about her. Her fame - deserved or not, ranks her as the most infamous of the women Outlaws of the Old West and pretty near the top – of men or women outlaws. This is her story. “She died as she had lived, ingloriously and ignominiously, with her boots on – an outlaw Queen, her career unrivalled in Western folklore and history.” The story is entitled

OUTLAW QUEEN

By Glenn Shirley

and the author, himself an ancestor of Belle Starr has done a masterful job of story telling. My wife and I spent hours indexing this piece for the genealogist to study the lineage of Belle Starr. There were many a western story published – the common ones about Cowboys and Indians are listed on Ebay every day but the rarer ones about the women pioneers of the old west like this one are seldom found. Collectors treasure them and their price guide value rises every day. They are hard to find. I hunt them out because really the better, untold and rarer stories were published in the rest.

Here’s one of ‘em.

Following my retirement, I have dedicated my remaining hours to indexing the Genealogy of our western pioneers. During my research, I discovered that thousands of our kinfolk lay unfound and unrecognized on some book dealer’s shelf. Because Old Western History and Memorabilia was printed before computer indexing, I index every item I sell.

This complete index will be bound and included in this offering at no additional cost.

Humbly, I am trying to keep our history alive

I hope you appreciate the effort.

Folks, sooner or later – Genealogists are going to realize that their family kinfolks are laying on some dealer’s dusty shelves. If I can contribute to finding one little name or photo of that long lost ancestor you have been waiting to find, it’s worth all the time I spend. As a tribute to the honor of our American Indians, my indexed listings will include all Indian names mentioned in the story from this time on

BELLE STARR

MEMORABILIA IS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING

While others clip ads from magazines, I save history. It’s a shame that our past is being lost. It’s as simple as that.

My wife kids me that after I find a piece I like, buy it, read it, research it, take a picture, scan it, write the blurb, pay the Ebay entry fee and commission, that I end up making about 50 cents an hour. But, OH HOW I LOVE THIS OLD WESTERN HISTORY. What a story, Rare Story!!! Great Pictures. You will love it as it was published in this old complete western magazine of many years ago. The issue is in good condition, the cover is in vibrant color.

As clearly stated in my description, this is featured story in a rarely found and seldom read unusual and complete western magazine. I don't give out name of publication or date because I have caught competitors copying my index and work and trying to sell it as theirs. I hope you understand.

Buyer pays postage of $3.50 First Class Postage to U. S.; $5.00 Priority; $13.95 for International Mail. Texans must pay 8-¼ % sales tax. Thanks,

Tom
