[2] Her mother then married a Cherokee named Sam Starr, and settled beside the Canadian River in the Indian Territory at a place called Younger's Bend.

While no official record exists, pictures of a young Pearl Starr show an uncanny resemblance to Cole Younger.

[6] Most historical writers accept that Starr gave birth to an illegitimate daughter[8] named Flossie[9] in April 1887 when she was 18.

[13] Located on "the Row,"[14] Fort Smith's waterfront street of gambling halls, saloons and bordellos,[15] the house was identified with a bright red star surrounded by lighted pearls.

The parlor featured a talented piano player, good whiskey, and supposedly the "most beautiful girls west of the Mississippi."

After a burglary at a general merchandise store in Fort Smith, police found several stolen items hidden at Starr's Winslow home.

Posting $2,000 bail, Starr's attorneys appealed the case to the Arkansas Supreme Court, which overturned the verdict.

Starr's daughter Flossie was credited with writing a two-part article for the Dallas Morning News Sunday editions on April 30 and May 7, 1933.
