Belle Starr
« on: February 06, 2023, 07:07:42 AM »
Found this interesting. In this photo, purportedly, she has been arrested. So why is she shown with a gun in her holster if she were arrested? Maybe the gun was emptied of cartridges. Chivalry? Photo Opportunity?  No big deal just thought this was something to talk about. Wonder what pistola she was packin'?? any ideas out there?  :icon_scratch:

Mike, thank you. Believe it or not I actually wondered that myself.

I would have never thought she rode sidesaddle but apparently she did and wore two guns with expensive dresses.

Yeah Hawg. Dang dresses drug the ground even.  :icon_scratch: I'm sure her real life story is lot different than the dime store novel or the hollyweird depiction of her. It seems she was most known for horse thievery than anything else. LOL

Ground length dresses were normal for back then. It was scandalous for a woman to show her ankles.
