Pearl Hart was a remarkable figure in the annals of the Old West, becoming famously known for one of the few documented stagecoach robberies by a woman. During a time when women were largely relegated to traditional domestic roles, Hart defied these expectations. On the fateful day, she and her accomplice, Joe Boot, blocked the way of a stagecoach traveling between Globe and the mining town of Florence. Armed with a revolver, Hart ordered the passengers to disembark and handed over their valuables, amounting to around $450. Her audacity caught many by surprise, as she smoothly conducted the robbery without significant violence.Hart's evasion tactics included cleverly disguising her identity and using the element of surprise to her advantage. Following the robbery, she quickly gained notoriety, with various newspapers reporting on the incident, drawing public attention to her story. However, what began as a bold act turned into a series of misadventures, as authorities quickly descended upon her. Soon after the robbery, Hart and Boot were apprehended, and their trial became a sensation, reflecting the increasing fascination with the tales of outlaws during the period. Despite facing the law, Hart maintained her fierce demeanor and resilience throughout the proceedings, turning her into a symbol of defiance against conventional gender roles of her era.
