Publisher: Mankind Publishing Company, Los AngelesIlustrated (photo/drawing) The Mankind Series of Great Adventures of History["Selected Readings By Mankind Magazine", contains the story "Pearl Hart and the Last Stage". Non-pornographic work in the Western genre. Tells the tale of Pearl Hart, a girl who dressed as a boy and became a famous stagecoach robber. Page 232: "She would have still been in the boys clothes she wore during the robbery, bedraggled form those days in the sale and the elements of the weather, frightened to death of the crowd which she faced." Page 234: "Although Joe Boot slipped quickly into obscurity shortly after Sheriff Truman brought the outlaw pair into Florence, the pistol and rifle-toting Pearl was just beginning to live, to be recognized, and to find her place in history. And what she didn’t conjure up in her own mind was created by the newspaper accounts of her daring adventure into the badman’s territory. Altogether, these made her break out in the cold sweats of fame." Page 235: "She had a year of ecstatic glory with the cheers of the public ringing in her ears. And then night after night the audience became thinner and thinner. The fickle public soon tires of even its most important heroes."]
