Calamity Jane - Heroine of the Wild West - 1903
There are few frontier characters who possess a more romantic and pathetic history than “Calamity Jane,” the famous woman-scout, pony express rider, and Indian fighter, who is now, by the irony of fate, spending her last days in a Wyoming gaol. Her thrilling adventures have formed the basis of innumerable “blood-and-thunder” stories, and the full narrative of her eventful career would fill m any volumes, more exciting than the most melodramatic fiction. Mr. Patterson here relates a few of “Calamity’s” exploits, and shows under what pitiful circumstances this faithful old servant of the State is now awaiting “the last roll-call.”
