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. | Calamity Jane is known for boasting of her exploits as a [[pony express]] rider and Indian fighter.
