just a start, but an interesting character
'''''Calamity Jane''''' (born Martha Jane Cannary-Burke 1852-1903) was an [[America|American]] frontierswoman in the late nineteenth and early twnetieth centuries. She earned the name "Calamity Jane" in a battle near Sheriden, [[Wyoming]] where she rescued her commander. Scholars dispute wether or not Jane married [[Wild Bill Hickok]], but the state of Wyoming recognized Jean Hickok Burkhardt McCormick as their legal offspring.
==Indian Fighter==
Calamity Jane is known for boasting of her exploits as a [[pony express]] rider and Indian fighter. She claimed to have fought alongside [[Custer]] in [[Arizona]], but this is probably inaccurate as Custer was not involved in Indian Campaigns in Arizona. Most likely, Jane was involved in campaigns on the American Plains. It is documented that she participated in the "Muscle Shell Indian Outbreak" in 1872. Later in life she participated in [[Buffalo Bill]]'s Wild West Show.
