Krátky popis
A fascinating new account of the life and legend of the Wild West's
most notorious woman: Calamity Jane Martha Jane Canary, popularly
known as Calamity Jane, was the pistol-packing, rootin' tootin'
",lady wildcat", of the American West. Brave and resourceful, she
held her own with the men of America's most colorful era and became
a celebrity both in her own right and through her association with
the likes of Wild Bill Hickok and Buffalo Bill Cody. In this
engaging account, Karen Jones takes a fresh look at the story of
this iconic frontierswoman.She pieces together what is known of
Canary's life and shows how a rough and itinerant lifestyle paved
the way for the scattergun, alcohol-fueled heroics that dominated
Canary's career. Spanning Canary's rise from humble origins to her
role as ",heroine of the plains", and the embellishment of her
image over subsequent decades, Jones shows her to be feisty,
eccentric, transgressive-and very much complicit in the making of
the myth that was Calamity Jane.
