How Well Do You Know The History of The Wild West?

Who was the second woman to rob a stagecoach?

Pearl Hart was the second woman to rob a stagecoach in history; she was also the first to not be killed while robbing a stagecoach as she was pardoned 18 months after the crime as a result of lack of accommodation in prison.

From a young age, she was more interested in adventure than education so she eloped with Fredrick Hart at a young age, after which she moved to Arizona. Together with her husband, Joe Boot, she took up robbery and robbed a stagecoach in 1899. Her plan only failed because she and Boot got lost in the desert.
