She spent her childhood in Carthage, Mo. (from the age of two), and atage 15 she moved with her parents to a farm near Dallas. In 1866 shemet Cole Younger (of the out law Younger brothers), who probablyfathered her first child, Pearl, and for whom she retained a lifelongfondness. A year later she took up with another outlaw, Jim Reed, whofathered her second child, Edward, after they had moved to California.In 1869 they were back in Texas, rustling
horses and cattle and committing petty thievery; she fashioned herselfas the "bandit queen," costumed in either velvet and feathers orbuckskin and moccasins. In 1874 Reed was killed by a member of his owngang; and, after a succession of lovers, Belle in 1880 became thecommon-law wife of a Cherokee Indian named Sam Starr. She settled withhim near Briartown, Okla., on a large ranch, renamed Younger's Bend,which became an outlaws' hideout. In 1883 Belle and Sam were convictedof horse theft and spent a few months in
the federal prison in Detroit. In 1886 Sam was killed in a gunfight,and Belle soon took a new lover, a young, long-haired Creek Indiannamed Jim July.
On Feb. 3, 1889, Belle was killed near the ranch, shot down frombehind. The murderer was never identified, though both a neighbournamed Wilson and her own son Edward were suspects.
