Calamity Jane (1848-1903)

Back of postcard reads: Martha Jane Canarray was born in Princeton, Mo. The hard drinking woman wore men's clothing, used their bawdy language, chewed tobacco and was handy with a gun. She traveled from Arizona through the Dakota territories during her rough life. At her death, the "White Devil of the Yellowstone" was remembered as a saint by the citizens of Deadwood, where she helped nurse the sick during a smallpox plague. She is buried near Wild Bill Hickok at Deadwood, S.D.
