Gr 5-9-Fascinating black-and-white illustrations and reproductions and informative sidebars are the highlights of this biography of the legendary female outlaw. The book covers Starr's life from her birth in 1848 on a farm near Carthage, MO, to her violent death in 1889. In between, discussions of her family, education, her initiation into a lawless life after the death of one of her brothers, her marriages and children, her relationships with other outlaws, and her criminal pursuits are intertwined with the story of America's westward expansion. In Starr's story, as with other notorious figures in our history, it is often difficult to separate fact from fiction. However, in doing so, the authors introduce readers to the questions, sources, and techniques used by historians in their search for truth.-Patricia Ann Owens, Wabash Valley College, Mt. Carmel, IL
