Calamity Jane: Fact vs Fiction

Calamity Jane might just be the most famous woman to ever come out of the Old West. According to the legend, she scouted for the Army, rode for the Pony Express, fought hostile natives, and married Wild Bill Hickok. The only problem is almost none of that is true. Join me as we dig into the real Martha Jane Canary. We'll discuss her tumultuous childhood, the truth about her romance with Wild Bill (and why she's really buried beside him at Mount Moriah), her work for Al Swearengen at the Gem Theater, friendship with Buffalo Bill Cody, and a ton more! The myth made Canary a buckskin heroine, but the actual evidence makes her something a lot more interesting. 🤠Watch This Next!!!! ➡️    • Wild West Starter Package   🤠Check out the website! https://www.wildwestextra.com/ 🤠Email me! https://www.wildwestextra.com/contact/ 🤠Free Newsletter! https://wildwestjosh.substack.com/ 🤠Buy me a coffee! https://buymeacoffee.com/wildwest 🤠Join Patreon for ad-free and bonus content!   / wildwestextra   #wildwest #history #oldwest #deadwood #western
