The Life & Adventures of Calamity Jane and Deadwood Dick: The Prince of the Road, (or the Black Rider of the Black Hills)

Martha Jane Cannary Burke (otherwise known as Calamity Jane) was one of the most fearless riders in the American Wild West near the end of the nineteenth century. In this collection, Calamity Jane narrates her own story, giving the interested reader details about her exploits across the western part of the United States. Edward L. Wheeler's Deadwood Dick, a popular fictional work, features Calamity Jane, thereby giving rise to the legend that would form around this remarkable woman.
