( 1852-1903)
Calamity Jane was a famous woman scout of the Wild West, pony express rider, and known for dressing like a man at a time when women could be fined for wearing men's clothing!
Her famous quote: " I was considered the most reckless and dangerous rider and one of the best shots in the Western country".

When I was a little girl I thought that Calamity Jane was such an interesting character; maybe I identified with her because my middle name is Jayne. What little girl wouldn't secretly want to be the bad girl rebel who dresses like a man and then outshoots them? LOL
