The Reel Thrilling Events of Bank Robber Henry Starr

Born in 1873, Cherokee outlaw Henry Starr's extraordinary life included surviving shootouts and death sentences, ultimately leading to a brief stint in the Oklahoma State Penitentiary. In 1919, he was convinced to become a movie star, and his only film, A Debtor to the Law, was an attempt to use cinema to reshape his image amid powerful opposition seeking to censor his story. Through memorabilia, newspaper reports, and interviews, author Mark Archuleta explores Starr's effort to reclaim his narrative and seek redemption.
