EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enigmatic Martha Jane Cannary, better known as Calamity Jane. Born in 1852, this fearless woman left an indelible mark on the American West during her short but eventful life. Dressed in a soldier's costume, she exudes strength and determination that defied traditional gender roles of her time. Calamity Jane was not your typical lady of the Wild West; she embraced a masculine persona while fearlessly wielding a rifle by her side. This full-length portrait captures her essence as a professional scout and frontierswoman who navigated the rugged landscapes of North America with unparalleled skill. Known for being a close friend of Wild Bill Hickok, Calamity Jane's legacy extends far beyond mere companionship. Her adventures took her to places like Deadwood in the Black Hills region, where she became an iconic figure amidst cowboys and outlaws. In this photograph, we witness Calamity Jane's tomboyish charm juxtaposed with undeniable femininity. With a gun holstered at her side and donning Western attire, she epitomizes both strength and grace. This remarkable image is part of Peter Newark Western Americana's private collection, capturing an era when legends were born in dusty towns across Dakota, Wyoming, and beyond. As we gaze upon this historic photograph today, it serves as a testament to Calamity Jane's enduring spirit that continues to captivate audiences around the world.
