Rose Elizabeth Dunn, also known as the Rose of Cimarron, was best known for her romantic involvement with outlaw George “Bitter Creek” Newcomb in the days of Old West.
She was born on September 5, 1878, in Winfield, Kansas to William H. Dunn and Sarah C. Brenner Dunn. One of ten children, the family was poor, but she received a formal education at a convent in Wichita, Kansas. At some point, the family moved to Ingalls, Oklahoma.
