Description:

Martha "Calamity" Jane Canary was born in Princeton, Missouri, in 1848 and grew up to become the Wild West's most remarkable woman. Renowned for her strange beauty and notorious for her hard drinking lifestyle, Calamity Jane married Wild Bill Hickok and was buried near him at Deadwood, South Dakota, where she once burned down the hotel in a fit of despair and later nursed the victims of a smallpox epidemic. Sinner and saint, lover and killer, her courage is still legendary.
