I Calamity Jane at this time, 1876, was
an uncommonly good looking woman
with auburn hair and sparkling brown
eyes. She was the belle of the from
criminals and brutal bad men. Though
her name has at times been connected
with outlaw gangs, it was not the true
Calamity Jane but another masquerade
ing in her place who hung out with
these gangs. Calamity James love for
Wild Bill was n Of the beautiful
things of her otherwise harsh and Oft
times sordid life. It was a love that
held to the end of her life.
It is to be doubted whether Wild Bill
returned this love. It was about this
time that he married a woman in
Cheyenne. Like most frontier men, he
no doubt danced with Calamity, drank
there are those who claim that the
noted Bell Star, the lady bandit, was
the child of Wild Bill and Calamity
Jane.
That she wa the child OF Calamity
Jane is certain. Calamity Jane had her
own code of honor and banditry did
not go with that code. It was over this
He'll Star had two children, a boy and
a girl. Calamity Jane did not like the
way Bell Star was bringing up her
children, so she kidnapped the grand
daughter and raised her as her own.
For many years, people where she lived
knew nc different.

She was living in S~tringtoWn, Mon,

snort" The day came when her hus-
band could stand these "snorts' no
longer. He decided to leave. He could
not bear the thought of leaving the
child to the mercies of the tempera-
mental Calamity, so putting her IN a
wagon and handing her up her doll,
he took her for a ride. The ride ended
at Livingston, Montana, where n child
was left in the care of the mans moth
er. This granddaughter is still living.
After the death of Wild Bill, Calam-
ity Jane had drifted about from town

long to become accustomed to the city.
She became very hOmeSick but she had
no money to make the return trip.
Luckily, Buffalo Bill came along one
day, took pity, on her, and paid her
fare back to the west.
Calamity Jane was noted for her kind
heart. Many a sick man and woman
have had her to thank for pulling
them through an illness.
An old freighter by the name of
Thomas relates such an incident while
he was with a group Of freighters.
They were on their way to Lewistown,
Montana. Thomas fell sick on the jour-
ney and was not able to drive his out
fit. The freighters decided that they
could not wait for him to get well as
they were due in Lewistown, 50 they
pulled his outfit to n side of the road
with the intention Of leaving him there
decree. Calamity Jane Immediately
pulled her wagon to n side and
stayed with him. She nursed him until
he was able to travel again.
During the smallpox epidemic at
DeadWood, she was a regular angel of
mercy, going into the home of the af-
flicted, taking food to them and adj
terlng a grocery store, she ordered sew
eral cans of high priced fruits and
other fancy delicacies for the sick. She
asked the proprietor to put the goods
in a gunny sack so that she could
carry them on her shoulder. When
she stopped to pick up the sack, the
proprietor halted her.
You must pay for those goods be-
fore taking them,' he told her.
In an instant, the groceryman was
covered by Calamity's gun while she
backed to the door. Once outside, she
dashed for the smallpox cabin in the
hills. The groceryman decided it would
not be wise to give chase.
In 1893 Calamity Jane was in Bill
lings doing laundry work hardly rec
ognizable as the old Calamity who had
ridden the plains killing Indians and
desperadoeS. In 1901, she again drifted
back to Deadwood where she lived
more or less on charity.
Then n morning the minister's
wife remarked that there must be
someone sick at the little shack down
the line as she had seen someone car
rying a tray of food there of late every
day. The Reverend Carter went to in
vestigate and found it was Calamity
Jane. The last thing she said was, II

fought like a wildcat. While with Gus

to thank for saving their lives. She was
not a woman to be tempered with as
many found out.
On one occasion she watched a mule
skinner beating his animals. She walked
over and told him to go easy on the

ALAMITY JANE was the most
notorious Oma Of the west
during the seventies and the
~ eighties. One 0ld-timer claims
that Bill Nye gave her the name
in his paper, the Laramie Boomerang.
Another version claims that the sobri-
quet vas received while she was with
the Custer campaign. She had rescued
Captain Egan from certain death by
the Indians and upon his recovery he
called her to him to thank her.
you're a mighty good person to have
her, land so I hereby christen YOU
Calamity Jane, the heroine of the
plains"
The most accepted version Of the
name seems to be that in almost every
affair where there was fighting or that
required quick action, you were sure
to find Calamity Jane in the thickest
of the fray.
