Publisher's summary

The little-known story of Pearl Hart, the most famous female bandit in the American West.

On May 30, 1899, history was made when Pearl Hart, disguised as a man, held up a stagecoach in Arizona and robbed the passengers at gunpoint. A manhunt ensued as word of her heist spread, and Pearl Hart went on to become a media sensation and the most notorious female outlaw on the Western frontier. Her early life, family, and fate after her later release from prison have long remained a mystery to scholars and historians - until now.

Drawing on groundbreaking research into territorial records and genealogical data, Wildcat is the first book to uncover the enigma of Pearl Hart. Hailed by many as “The Bandit Queen”, her epic life of crime and legacy as a female trailblazer provide a crucial lens into the lives of the rare women who made their mark in the American West.

Tedious

Not really a story but just facts and comments from reporters. It would have held my interest more if it would have been written as a story so I could look forward to what would happen next. The time period and location of events are begging for delicious descriptions. Pearl was not brought to life. Very disappointing and I had to force myself to continue listening. It could easily have been a textbook. Too bad.
