Finding Roxie Belle
July 23 @ 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm
Roxie Belle McCord Roberts: property owner, rancher, gold miner, songwriter, teacher, political orator, editorialist, notorious courtroom brawler, championship trapshooter, and, for a brief time, publisher of the Long Beach Daily Telegram. An extraordinary life by today’s standards, an unimaginable life for a woman who was born in 1800’s midwestern America.
Join us in the HSLB gallery Thursday, July 23, 2026, as author Mitch Stone talks about how Roxie Belle, “the only woman to run a major metropolitan American newspaper and a prominent political voice lived out the rest of her life in anonymity in small home in north Long Beach.” (From the biography Finding Roxie Belle: the Extraordinary Life and Times of Belle McCord Roberts, by Mitchel R. Stone.)
