DESPERADO -- Pearl Hart: "Pearl Hart
Pearl Taylor
1871--1925
Lindsay, Ontario, Canada
aka, Mrs. L.P. Keele
Born and raised in Lindsay, Ontario, Canada, to a middle-class and respectable family, Pearl Taylor was one of several children. She was sent to finishing school at an early age and, in 1888, at age seventeen, was seduced by a gambler, Frederick Hart. Pearl eloped with him, but marriage to Hart proved to be one hardship after another. Hart was a small time gambler and occasional bartender. Somehow he managed to scrape enough money together to take Pearl to Chicago to see the Columbian Exposition of 1893. There Hart became a barker for sideshows and Pearl worked odd jobs. She was thrilled at the Wild West shows and became enamored with the Old West, believing in all its legends and heroes."
