Second time I've watched this because it is the best documentary on her life. I went down to the Porum area many years ago and found the gravesite long before it had signs and publicity. I was directed to her gravesite by an elderly neighbor lady in the area. It was very hard to find...and those deep woods sure had a lot of ticks. Another great one Jerry !
As someone who has been an information junkie for 40 years I have watched easily thousands of documentries. I much prefer watching a documentary then a Hollywood version of events, concepts, etc. What I appreciate is your relaxed approach of naarration. And as someone who has researched many conspiracies it is good to have references such as yours that has good information that isn't embellished or glorified as the corporate press does.
I agree with Elijah. These stories are very well done. I have enjoyed watching some of them not knowing anything about these people not being American myself and you talk in such a relaxed manner that I really enjoy. And you seem to have really researched your stories. I also love all the pictures you show of everything so it's easier to get a picture in your head of everything. Thank you!!
I live 1 mile from the north Canadian river . I really like your stories and research. I am sure I was born 100 yrs too late. When I walk the lands in Oklahoma, I can feel the spirits of the people that were here before me .
My grate grandmother or aunt by adoption was employed by bell name Sara .. now bell Billie kid and youngers to Sara bailed out and supported by bell writing story film called when sun comes down was stolen from my room .. so I'll rewrite later .. but grandmother had bought farm during the dust bowl what latter became a oil company .. love writing both fact fiction of anything I do but Bell is one my favorites as I get the lady 1000 percent ..as my family employer all liked the series sad ex stoop so low think after 18 years if divorce he'd stop stocking he'll get his .. back then bombboys youngers James would just shot sob
Fascinating and fun ! Thank you for your easy to follow history of the Famous and Infamous Belle Star, and all of the detail and photos that you include in your bio. Enjoyed it !!! I'll recommend your channel and share with friends 🤠🐎
Jerry, once again I'm impressed with your investigative talents. I don't know how you get this information but however you do it, its most impressive. I'm looking forward to more.
I've never seen a bad video by Jerry Skinner. I especially enjoyed this one because I have lived in eastern Oklahoma all my life. And it fills in blanks of a song I have on CD by Michael Martin Murphy called the Ballad of Belle Star. Thanks Jerry.
Mr. Skinner, I love your documentaries. Thank you, so much. One suggestion... how about treating us all to a "Who is Jerry Skinner, really?" I would enjoy learning more about you! Thanks again for all the pleasure you provide us.
Oh my gosh! I've passed by Younger's Bend I don't know how many times and never knew it was there. I'll make sure I take the time to stop and look around the next time I'm going through there. Thanks so much for all your interesting, informative videos, Mr. Skinner. You sure put a lot of work into them, and it is very much appreciated.
I am 83 years old and lived south of Fort Smith in my youth. I lived in Paris, Texas and then west of Dallas. My Grandad told me some things about Belle Star, but he didnT know much about her. I guess the best way, for me, to describe Jerry's documentaries, is that he makes the people living flesh and blood and humanizes them in some way. He shows that they were husbands, wives, sons, and daughters. Very good, Jerry thank you.
Jerry, I so enjoy your work. It would be fun to have a job like yours! Btw, history has always been my favorite subject, and you're still teaching me. Thank You.
Love your Old-Timey" voice, the slow, old-fashioned pronunciations of words as well as your thought and almost academic approach. It must take tremendous effort to consistently produce this quality work.
Hey Eddie......did ya notice all the comments under this video from several other ancestors? I'm asking, because your comment is much more recent, and I don't see ya mentioning anything to them. Maybe reach out & try to contact them........I'm assuming they would indeed be kin to you!!! Just thought I would mention it. I think it would be awesome to discover & meet long-lost LIVING relatives.
I'm pleasantly surprised to see her in a black velvet riding habit AND riding Sidesaddle. In every modern tv show and movie you see where ladies ride it's often astride and rare to actually see them on sidesaddles. This proves that no matter how tough and robust some of these past ladies were some of them still definitely rode sidesaddle in fashionable habits. I enjoyed your video and the photos very much. Thank you.
Another great documentry, I have been reading about Belle recently and the accepted account was that Belle was murdered by "unknown" person/s. Very sad case better explained here and possibly one of very few incidents where a female was so well known but met a sad end. Thanks for this really interesting video Jerry.
Thanks muchly for this lovely little documentary. It's succinctly & thoroughly informative with a great selection of well edited images. I particularly like the addition of the personal video clips of locations. Edit: After looking through the comments, i gotta say, it sure looks like she's got a hell of a lot of descendants in the comments. 😉
Interesting and informative. You make some excellent videos. I recently passed through there from my state of Arizona. I will check this place out next time. Thanks.
Thank you for the narration of Belle Starr Shirley. Mr. Skinner. Im Barbara May Shirley , I married Victor Shirley we lived in China Texas, also related to the Barnett family, also the Des Trahan family. It was nice to here more info about the family. I have to agree that guitar music in the background was mind numbing that im still hearing it. LOL!! IT Still fit that Era. Continue narrating and thank the crew for pics and actual taking time to be at the real locations of History. Great work. Sincerely Barbara May Shirley
I found this most interesting well researched and all the relative data included You have done an excellenr job Mt Skinner this is real history not the media crap we are served up every day today well done look forward to more of your uploads
Jerry, you just keep getting better and better at the production of these videos. Excellent indeed! You have also taught me something I did not know, as with some of your other videos. I was aware of Belle Star however, I was not aware of the details of her life and death. Thanks to you, I now know. Greatly appreciated! I look forward to your next one.
I wish you knew English better.. I am curious if your Grandmother was a McDonald.. if they laid Belle our on the Kitchen floor or maybe in the yard.. Your comment does not make much sense @Clint Watson
i found ur channel from another channel. a truck driver who loves the old history. so i am happy to have found u. and i subbed too. good work. love how u talk slow, and so easy for me to follow along. thanks for doing it. really like it.
Jerry , thank you for making these videos. I enjoy history and your videos are some of the best I have seen. Come to Micanopy, Florida we have a lot of history.
thid one was a doozey of a story held my attention trom start to ending and very interesting as all you videos are Mr Skinner and i do love a great true story , I do love your work . sir very much .
Ok You got me hooked now Jerry :-) , I never herd of this lady,but another great story and related in yet another great way. Good on you Jerry. I have a great friend who lives in Loranger Louisiana . They came over here to Wales to stay with us for a month last year 2014. Im sure he will fined like me that your stories are really Interesting. I will have to pass your link on to him. Cheers Jerry and stay healthy
Agree.Anyone heard The Ballad Of Belle Starr's?It claims she had eight lovers including Dingus n Frank n The Youngest.Someone said it was John Younger who fathered Pearl.Cole always denied being the father.
What low character and self esteem you have to make fun of others, I’m sure there are a lot of flaws we all could pick at you on, but that would make us as sorry as you, I say, no thanks.
@@tkpopham5844 I find it interesting that you assumed the comment was a criticism while i saw it as showing appreciation & a compliment. Perhaps it's you that has a problem with their self esteem & character.
Well Mr. Skinner, you've done it again. What an interesting short documentary about another western legend. I'd only read about Belle Starr through those old paperback novels my father used to read religiously (a great cowboy and indian reader BTW) and through those I always thought Belle to be another fiction dreamt up by one of those many novelists. Still as they say, the truth is stranger than fiction and probably dosen't sell newspapers too well.
another excellent informative video. I am fascinated by these famous people, as well as the Old west..Thank you, Jerry Skinner, I am subscribing to your video's, this is excellent....thank you..
My great grandfather was in the Calvary at fort sill Oklahoma and he told stories of chasing Belle Starr and other outlaws who would sneak in at night and steal their horses.. I’ve always enjoyed these stories.. thank you for posting these historical videos.. please keep the coming!!
+Jerry Skinner beg pardon, sir, but I caint quite figure your accent. I'm thinkin northern Arkansas, or eastern south Carolina. maybe Tennessee? my kin are all through them places, including south eastern Missouri. but wherever your from, I sure like listening to y'all. (my guess would be Jones county Arkansas...?
It's a fairly common "Southern accent". Most of my family for many generations live in North Alabama, near the Tennessee border, and they all speak very similar. My parents moved to central Florida in 1969 when I was 7 years old. Even though we visited my people every year in Alabama, I never developed the "Southern accent" due to being raised down here. Florida must have more people "from everywhere else" than any other state I reckon....lol. Dad was an Alabama man, most of my mother's people were from western Pennsylvania.......and I'm raised in Florida......so I'm all jacked out of shape....lol.
Hm! VERY Interesting and I agree with the poster below me, Elijah James.completely. Absolutely! I prefer your work over anything on cable or any network, Jerry. Keep 'em up babe! Love the sound of your voice. And also all the music in the background of your stories as well as the vintave pictures.

This is a name I've heard all of my life and now I know who she was. Thanks, Jerry. No one can do these little vignettes like you do.
Heres another fun fact Belle Star dies on my great great great grandmothers property with her cornbread in her pocket
Mr Skinner, you have the most interesting channel on CZcams. Thank you so much.

Jerry really great documentary..
I love watching 👀very informative..
God bless you!!
Another great one Mr. Skinner....VERY informative & so accurate!! Thousand thumbs ups!!
My late husband's grandmother was the great great granddaughter of Belle Starr , when she passed away they mentioned that in her funeral service.
That is so cool
Pam Lyles -That’s so cool. I bet she had some stories to tell!
She was a criminal
firebird_SPLEEN -No honey-she was an OUTLAW!!! And a damn fine one at that!!There is a big difference.

Joyce B. Oh, yes please.
Yes plz.
No, no, no. I have a mental picture of Jerry and would be disappointed as hell if he's some young guy affecting this voice and narrative style!!
@@indy_go_blue6048 I have a memory of Mr Skinner showing his face on one of his older documentaries - about being a private detective.
How can anyone NOT like your videos?? Another great job, Jerry. Thanks, Kris
My grandmother was a Shirley and Myrabelle's 1st cousin. I can tell you her family never forgot her and also, sadly, never got over the Civil war.
Unfortunately that's true of a lot of Southerners even in 2019.
Love my family history
@@NewarkBay357
A lot of northern libershits as well.
My Grandmother was a Shirley too.
So was my grandmother.. Henrietta Shirley! I think Belle is like my first cousin 6 times removed
Oh my gosh! I've passed by Younger's Bend I don't know how many times and never knew it was there. I'll make sure I take the time to stop and look around the next time I'm going through there. Thanks so much for all your interesting, informative videos, Mr. Skinner. You sure put a lot of work into them, and it is very much appreciated.
Thank you Shay. Jerry
When there you might give Belle's headstone a cleaning. She'd like that, I'm sure.
Thank your Mr Jerry. I have learned more history from you than all my years of school. You ROCK that goes for your roommate as well.
Thank you David, i guess Butch and Sundance was the best. Jerry
