EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Calamity Jane, known for her fearless spirit and adventurous life on the American frontier. Dressed in a rugged jacket and hat, she stands confidently with a gun slung over her shoulder, embodying the essence of a true frontierswoman. Martha Jane Cannary-Burke, famously known as Calamity Jane, served as a scout with the US Cavalry during the tumultuous years of 1870-1876. Her remarkable friendship with Wild Bill Hickock added to her legendary status in Western folklore. As time went on, she joined Colonel William F Buffalo Bill Cody's renowned traveling Wild West show where she showcased her exceptional skills as a trick shooter and horse rider. The monochrome aesthetic of this image adds an air of authenticity to Calamity Jane's story. It transports us back to the untamed landscapes of nineteenth-century America where brave women like her defied societal norms and played pivotal roles in shaping history. This print is part of "Pictorial History of the Wild West" authored by James D Horan and Paul Sann in 1954. Its inclusion in this collection pays homage to Calamity Jane's indomitable spirit while preserving an important chapter from America's past. Through this photograph, we are reminded not only of one woman's extraordinary journey but also how individuals can leave an enduring mark on their country and inspire future generations.
