She was a heroine of the Old West, a sharpshooter, a scout for General Custer, and the bride of Wild Bill Hickok. Or was she? Perhaps she was no more than the invention of a writer who never ventured west of Titusville, Pennsylvania. With 33 black-and-white photographs, this photobiography examines the real life of Martha Jane Cannary, alias Calamity Jane, and attempts to sort fact from fiction, in a vivid slice of the Old West.
This is a young adult book, targeted at grades 3-7.
For a short vignette about Calamity Jane's visit to Red Lodge, see Characters of the Past.
