About this product

Product Information

Everyone knows the name Calamity Jane. Scores of dime novels and movie and TV Westerns have portrayed this original Wild West woman as an adventuresome, gun-toting hellion. Although Calamity Jane has probably been written about more than any other woman of the nineteenth-century American West, fiction and legend have largely obscured the facts of her life. This lively, concise, and exhaustively researched biography traces the real person from the Missouri farm where she was born in 1856 through the development of her notorious persona as a Wild West heroine.

Reviews
"Mr. Etulain's excellent book is a reminder that history can be a version of myth--in this case, a harmless and entertaining myth that we may be reluctant to give up."-- The Wall Street Journal, "Talk about myth busters! Richard Etulain's probing research, lively style, and scholarly maturity has resulted in a believable portrait of Calamity Jane the woman and an insightful analysis of Calamity the legend. This book is not to be missed by those interested in the West, its women, or its larger-than-life characters." Glenda Riley --author of The Life and Legacy of Annie Oakley, "Talk about myth busters! Richard Etulain's probing research, lively style, and scholarly maturity has resulted in a believable portrait of Calamity Jane the woman and an insightful analysis of Calamity the legend. This book is not to be missed by those interested in the West, its women, or its larger-than-life characters." Glenda Riley --author of The Life and Legacy of Annie Oakley

Finding the Truth about Calamity Jane
Life and Legends of Calamity Jane: I was looking for a book that distinguished the facts about Calamity Jane from the fiction. This author does a great job of doing just that. There were numerous fictional accounts, even from Calamity herself, who embellished quite a bit to make her life appear more exciting to audiences wherever she went. This book helps sort all that out.
