title: The Belle of the Rio Grande
author: Dixon, Dorothy
description: She was a dimpled, violet-eyed, black-haired beauty, who wore scarlet velvet dresses, white-plumed hats and two Navy Colts hanging from her shapely hips. She was Belle Starr, Queen of the Outlaws, and as she blazed her way through the wild frontier, there was never another like her.
  
  Seduced at the age of fifteen, on the trail from Missouri to Texas, Belle learned what it meant to be a woman. Through three marriages, numerous lovers, the bitter Border Wars, bloodshed, heartache, horse thievery, robbery, and a jail sentence, she had two ambitions; to win the heart of handsome Cole Younger, the only man who could ever satisfy her fiery passion -- and to be known as the Queen of the Rio Grande, the most luscious outlaw of the West!
