	Belle Starr - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Belle's daughter, Rosie Reed also known as Pearl Starr, evidently finding a good living in prostitution, went on to operate a group of bordellos in Van Buren and Fort Smith, Arkansas, from the 1890s until World War I.
		Initially a somewhat ditzy young girl who just happens to be a crack shot, she is, as time progresses, forced to accept living life as an outlaw due to a series of misunderstandings and circumstances beyond her control, eventually developing a kind of inner strength and iron resolve as a result of her experiences.
		The framing sequence of the story takes place in Canada in 1932 and chronicles the efforts of a female author and Belle Starr aficionado to write the definitive work on the female outlaw by uncovering the truth about her life and times.
