The Last Ride of Cowboy Bob

Hello and Welcome!
I guess I should start off with saying my name is Allison. But I’m not the point of this blog. I am merely the writer. I am doing this blog for my class for a grade. I do however hope that it may somehow? I’m not sure how, help you, or you find it interesting. I do! Without further ado, I would like to introduce you to what I started to research on my topic of Woman’s issues.

Cowboy Bob was man who robbed bank after bank. He wore a western hat and never spoke a word. When he was finally arrested they discovered their Cowboy Bob was actually a woman. So would she then be Cowgirl Bobette?

Her name was Peggy Jo Tallas. Peggy Jo was 49 years old. She was living with her ailing mother and would take care of her. But after she fed her mother breakfast she’d go to the bedroom and change into a pair of men’s pants and a dark men’s shirt. She put on a men’s leather jacket and she had a fake beard pinned onto a mannequin head in her closet.  On the mannequins head was a white cowboy hat she put on as well.

Her costume was almost done. She had a few finishing touches. Off to the bathroom! She put on a pair of boots way to big for her feet. She put a towel under her shirt to make herself look heavier. She roved some adhesive across her face to attach the fake beard. She colored her hair grey with some paint she got at a costume shot. She then put on the cowboy hat, a large pair of silver sunglasses and a pair of gloves. She wrote a note and put it in her pocket and off she went.

She would then go to the bank pull out the note that read “This is a bank Robbery, Give me your money. No marked bills or dye packs.”

She would speed off and back home to fix her mother lunch. She didn’t rob just one bank but many.



I found that after doing research my interest was spiked more. I don’t want to ramble more then I really need to. So I think I’m going to end this here!

Have a great rest of the day! I hope you enjoyed this!  



This is what she looked like. Just thought I'd share.
