Life and Adventures of Calamity Jane

This book is written in a style which is really more like a list of things that have been put into various paragraphs. She was born in 1852 as Marthy Cannary. She spent her youthful years becoming an expert horsewoman and an excellent shot.

By 1870 she was a scout for Custer. She knew Wild Bill Hickock and spent some time in Deadwood, along with doing a rather wide variety of jobs, including the Pony Express. The origin of her name is given, and then it notes that she married and had a daughter.

This is sort of a bare-bones type of book without many details added.
