Calamity Jane
Calamity Jane was a Wild West legend whose real name was Martha Jane Cannary; she was a frontierswoman and a sharpshooter like no other. Jane was a performer in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show due to her friendship with Wild Bill Hickock. She had a unique personality that quickly helped her get to the top.
Her peers knew her to be highly compassionate, despite being rough and tough. She frequently wore men’s clothing, didn’t care about acting “feminine,” and could shoot her gun with uncanny accuracy. She was quite a famous figure in the Old West and is still remembered to this day. Jane passed away in 1901.
