摘要
Chronicles the true life story of Belle Starr, as opposed to the myths that have surrounded this famous Western figure.

《学校图书馆杂志》(School Library Journal)书评
Gr 4-6-- Belle Starr (nee Myra Maybelle Shirley) is a perfect example of media hype. She consorted with outlaws, sheltered and aided them, but her criminal career was minor compared to the notoriety attached to her name after her death. Green and Sanford take pains to separate the myth from the reality while making readers aware of both in this interesting biography of a colorful character. Black-and-white photographs enliven the format. The writing style is sometimes coy--``Jim Reed was the man who made May's heart beat faster,'' but always clear. The care taken to distinguish romantic legend from reality allows readers the pleasure of the former while keeping it in perspective. This book should prove fairly popular when biography reports are assigned (although it has only 40 pages of text, which will be a problem in some schools), and may even draw some browsers as well.-- Louise L.

Easy-to-read, sketchy texts relate the exploits of famous Westerners. Although the authors claim these stories are all derived from 'first-hand reports,' too many of the events seem to be based on rumor and speculation. The tone of the books is often admiring - even when the subject is a notorious criminal. Bib., ind. (c) Copyright 2010. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

Kirkus评论
In the ``Outlaws and Lawmen of the Wild West'' series, a brief biography that satisfactorily sorts out the facts and fictions about the ``Bandit Queen'' for reluctant readers. Following a glimpse of Belle during her Dallas heyday, the authors go back to present a largely chronological account: Born into a prosperous Missouri farming and business family in 1848, Belle was given a better education than most. But despite her mother's aspirations for her to be a lady, Belle was in and out of trouble from the time she became a spy for Quantrill's Raiders at age 14. After her family moved to Texas, she was involved with members of the James Gang and other crooks of lesser fame. Though she herself never killed anyone, she was no stranger to murder, nor to gambling, drinking, robbery, horse stealing, and eventually prison. For long periods she was estranged from her two children; her first two husbands were shot dead--as was Belle, in an ironic twist of fate. A straightforward, nonjudgmental account that still leaves a sense of the tragic waste of a life. B&w photos, maps (not seen), glossary, further reading, index. (Biography. 9-15)
