Rose Dunn

The gang that Newcomb ran with worshiped her due to her good looks and her calm and kind demeanor, and were fiercely defensive of her, spawning her loyalty to them.

A western legend has it that Newcomb was badly wounded, and while he lay in the street, Dunn is alleged to have run from the "Pierce Hotel" to him with two belts of ammunition and a Winchester rifle.

However, that account has never been verified, and was never mentioned by the US Marshal official report, which indicated that Newcomb at best fired two shots then fled.

[citation needed] After the killing of Newcomb, Dunn was often accused of having set him up, revealing to her brothers where the outlaws were hiding.

[citation needed] In 1898, she married local politician Charles Albert Noble, and sometime after 1900 they left Oklahoma and all outlaw associations behind them.

"Rose of Cimarron" is a song by country rock band Poco being the title cut of their 1976 album release Rose of Cimarron: written by founding member Rusty Young, the song featured lead vocals by Paul Cotton and Timothy B. Schmit.

For many years, many believed that the woman on this photo was Rose Dunn. Actually, she was a prisoner who posed to illustrate a story about the Rose of the Cimarron. [ 3 ]
