Globe began as a mining town and got its name when a miner found a “globe-shaped” piece of silver.\u00a0 The silver deposits ran out fairly quickly, but copper was discovered, and so pioneers continued to venture to Globe, despite threats from the nearby Apache reservation.\u00a0 The Globe copper mines provided much of the copper used in World War II.<\/p>\n
Most people have heard of Lynda Carter, who played Wonder Woman on television, but did you know she was born in Globe, Arizona?\u00a0 Other celebrities include Anton Levay, Gerald Gault, Napoleon Cordy, Donald Lee, and James M. Lopez.\u00a0 Probably the most exciting person from Globe is Big Nose Kate, wife of gunslinger Doc Holliday.\u00a0 She was actually born in Hungary but lived in Globe while she was separated from Holliday, until she reunited with him in nearby Tombstone.\u00a0 She was present at the shootout at OK Corral.\u00a0 The pair ultimately split, allowing her to live in Colorado for a while before retiring to Prescott, Arizona.<\/p>\n
Pearl Hart was an impetuous woman who married into an abusive marriage at a young age, and ran from her husband, ending up in Globe.\u00a0 That’s just the beginning.\u00a0 After her and her new lover’s mine claim petered out, they robbed a stagecoach in an attempt to get enough money for Pearl to visit her dying mother.\u00a0 When they were captured, the fact that Pearl was a woman, and her suffragist views, led her to become a local celebrity with a deep well of public sympathy.\u00a0 She was ultimately given a five year sentence, in comparison to her partner’s 30 years, but she was released early when she became pregnant, the father someone working in the jail.\u00a0 After that, she faded out of public view, but it is believed that she returned to Globe, married Calvin Bywater, and became a hard-working rancher, shouting vulgarities and smoking cigars, both unheard of for women at that time.<\/p>\n
