Belle Starr was born Myra Maybelle Shirley in Carthage, MO. She was born to dirt farmers who became prosperous innkeepers to outlaws the likes of the James Gang and Younger brothers and slave holders. Belle was a prim and proper southern lady until around the time of the Civil War when her brother was killed. Some say he was killed by a band of militia, some say it was rouge union troops and yet others say it was a fight in a saloon over a card game. Well, Belle went on a rampage looking for her brother's killers, in turn killing and wreaking havoc wherever she went. She was known as the Bandit Queen.
Carrie Nation was born Carrie Moore. She was in ill health much of her life and many family members suffered from mental illness. Carrie married Dr. Charles Gloyd but he was a severe alcoholic and her marriage ended and he died shortly after. She became a big player in the temperance movement just before prohibition. She attributed her passion for fighting liquor to her failed marriage. Carrie Nation was a big woman (nearly 6' tall) and went all over the Midwest smashing saloons with an ax. There is still a bar in Carthage, MO that bears the ax marks from Carrie Nation.
Fast forward to current CP history ... CP's puppy mill kids would certainly have reason to act as an outlaw and go after those that have abused and killed so many of them. They would also want to protect others from the evils of a puppy mill. And so, I would like to introduce CP's Belle Starr and Carrie Nation:
Belle Starr: female, wheaten, 3-4 years old, 12.4 pounds
Carrie Nation: female, wheaten, 3-4 years old, 14.6 pounds
Please welcome these two Infamous Missouri Women who will now be making history with Col. Potter!
