On May 30, 1899, one of the last recorded stagecoach robberies in the United States is committed by Pearl Hart, a female outlaw in America’s Old West. Hart cut her hair short and dressed in men’s clothing before the robbery, which she committed with an accomplice named Joe Boot. They were caught and Hart was sentenced to five years in jail but was pardoned after two. (Photo: Pearl Hart at the Yuma Territorial Prison in Arizona in 1899.)
