Calamity Character Cowgirl Cowgirls Crooks Frontier Jane Notorious Scout Scouts
EDITORS COMMENTS
Calamity Jane: The Unconventional Frontier Heroine (Mary Evans Prints Online/Rights Managed) Amidst the wild and untamed American frontier, a figure emerged who defied the conventions of her time and captured the imagination of generations to come. Calamity Jane, born Martha Jane Canary in Princeton, Missouri, in 1852, was a notorious frontier character who made her name as a scout and a cowgirl. This evocative photograph captures Calamity Jane in her element, clad in her signature buckskin outfit and adorned with a feathered headdress. Her steely gaze and confident posture convey a sense of strength and determination that belied her petite stature. Calamity Jane's reputation as a scout began when she accompanied General George Crook's army on a campaign against the Cheyenne Indians in 1876. Her bravery and skill in the wilderness earned her the respect of her fellow soldiers, and she went on to become a valued scout for several other military expeditions. Despite her tough exterior, Calamity Jane was known to have a softer side. She was said to have had a romantic relationship with Wild Bill Hickok, one of the most famous figures of the American West. However, her unconventional ways and penchant for drinking and swearing often put her at odds with the more traditional women of her time. This photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of Calamity Jane, a frontier heroine who defied the norms of her time and became a symbol of the independent spirit of the American West. Her story continues to captivate us today, inspiring movies, books, and countless retellings of her exploits on the frontier.
