The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp1955

Wyatt Earp:
[Opening Narration] The 1870s on the Western frontier were noted for sentimentality. The fable of a woman outlaw flourished. People really believed that Pauline Cushman, Belle Starr and Calamity Jane were female Robin Hoods, robbing the rich and giving to the poor. Dodge City, Kansas in 1877 had its own heroine. Her name was Lillian Reeve and folks called her 'The Kansas Lily.' But Marshal Earp could not afford to be sentimental, even about woman outlaws. A good peace officer assumed that a woman could shoot you just as dead as any drunken cowhand.
