The Life and Adventures of Calamity Jane by Herselfis as wild and outlandish as the author herself, offering a unique perspective into a woman who lived her life outside of the conventions of her time. Famous during her life, Calamity Jane became larger than life after her death in 1903 and her legend lives on through contemporary media, including in the 2013 novel In Calamity's Wakeby Natalee Caple, and as a character on the popular HBO series Deadwood.
