Publisher's Summary:
Space may be the final frontier, but no frontier has ever captured the American imagination like the "Wild West", which still evokes images of dusty cowboys, outlaws, gunfights, gamblers, and barroom brawls over 100 years after the West was settled. A constant fixture in American pop culture, the 19th-century American West continues to be vividly and colorful portrayed not just as a place but as a state of mind. In Charles River Editors' Legends of the West series, listeners can get caught up to speed on the lives of America's most famous frontier figures in the time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known.
The most famous woman of the Wild West was also possibly the most colorful and mysterious. "Considered a remarkable good shot and a fearless rider for a girl of my age", Calamity Jane claimed to be a veteran of the Indian Wars, a scout, and the wife of Wild Bill Hickok, all on the way to becoming a dime novel heroine.

Just OK
This is a hard book to review because it was hard for the writers to find true facts, rather a lot of the information is based on rumors and Martha Canary's distorted version of her own life. The book also clarifies her relationship with Wild Bill Hickok or lack there of. I really was hoping for more in-depth information that apparently is not available. This book was not a WOW for me, I was very disappointed.
Calamity Jane a factual read
I've been disappointed in some of the Charles River Editors books. They are written only to inform and not really show the true sides of the people they write about. It seems to be a matter of gathering facts and presenting them in their simplest form. However, I did learn more about Calamity Jane than I knew before I read this book.
Thick pamplet
Not a book book - more like an extended pamphlet.
