Trivia
Jennie "Little Britches" Stevens (1879-?) was born to farmers Daniel and Lucy Stephenson. As a teenager, she joined the Doolin gang, but lost her horse and returned home. On 5 Mar 1895, she married Benjamin Midkiff; he returned her to her family after six weeks due to her infidelity. Shortly later, she married Robert Stephens, but left him after six months. Around this time, she became friends with Anna "Cattle Annie" McDoulet (1882-1978?); they sold whiskey to Indians, stole horses, and warned outlaw gangs about law enforcement. In mid-August, she was arrested after her horse was shot out from under her during a chase. Jennie was sentenced to two years in a reformatory, but was released for good behavior in October 1896. She returned to her parents, and nothing is known about her after that.

Historical or blatant fiction?

There's no complaint about the theatrical part of the episode. The story line is good and all the actors do their parts well. However, after reading the biography for "Little Britches" on Wiki, there are major questions about the historical side of the story. In comparison, almost nothing matches between the tv episode and the Wiki page (though we all know how far off some of them can be).
