+Project Gutenberg Etext of Life and Adventures of Calamity Jane
+*****This file should be named cjane10.txt or cjane10.zip******
+
+Corrected EDITIONS of our etexts get a new NUMBER, cjane11.txt.
+VERSIONS based on separate sources get new LETTER, cjane10a.txt.
+
+
+We are now trying to release all our books one month in advance
+of the official release dates, for time for better editing.
+
+Please note:  neither this list nor its contents are final till
+midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.
+The official release date of all Project Gutenberg Etexts is at
+Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month.  A
+preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
+and editing by those who wish to do so.  To be sure you have an
+up to date first edition [xxxxx10x.xxx] please check file sizes
+in the first week of the next month.  Since our ftp program has
+a bug in it that scrambles the date [tried to fix and failed] a
+look at the file size will have to do, but we will try to see a
+new copy has at least one byte more or less.
+
+
+Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)
+
+We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work.  The
+fifty hours is one conservative estimate for how long it we take
+to get any etext selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
+searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc.  This
+projected audience is one hundred million readers.  If our value
+per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
+million dollars per hour this year as we release thirty-two text
+files per month:  or 400 more Etexts in 1996 for a total of 800.
+If these reach just 10% of the computerized population, then the
+total should reach 80 billion Etexts.
+
+The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away One Trillion Etext
+Files by the December 31, 2001.  [10,000 x 100,000,000=Trillion]
+This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
+which is only 10% of the present number of computer users.  2001
+should have at least twice as many computer users as that, so it
+will require us reaching less than 5% of the users in 2001.

+
+LIFE AND ADVENTURES OF CALAMITY JANE
+BY HERSELF
+
+
+
+My maiden name was Marthy Cannary.  I was born in
+Princeton, Missourri, May 1st, 1852.  Father and mother were
+natives of Ohio.  I had two brothers and three sisters, I being the
+oldest of the children.  As a child I always had a fondness for
+adventure and out-door exercise and especial fondness for
+horses which I began to ride at an early age and continued to do
+so until I became an expert rider being able to ride the most
+vicious and stubborn of horses, in fact the greater portion of my
+life in early times was spent in this manner.
+
+In 1865 we emigrated from our homes in Missourri by the
+overland route to Virginia City, Montana, taking five months to
+make the journey.  While on the way the greater portion of my
+time was spent in hunting along with the men and hunters of
+the party, in fact I was at all times with the men when there was
+excitement and adventures to be had.  By the time we reached
+Virginia City I was considered a remarkable good shot and a
+fearless rider for a girl of my age.  I remember many
+occurrences on the journey from Missourri to Montana.  Many
+times in crossing the mountains the conditions of the trail were
+so bad that we frequently had to lower the wagons over ledges
+by hand with ropes for they were so rough and rugged that
+horses were of no use.  We also had many exciting times fording
+streams for many of the streams in our way were noted for
+quicksands and boggy places, where, unless we were very
+careful, we would have lost horses and all.  Then we had many
+dangers to encounter in the way of streams swelling on account
+of heavy rains.  On occasions of that kind the men would usually
+select the best places to cross the streams, myself on more than
+one occasion have mounted my pony and swam across the
+stream several times merely to amuse myself and have had
+many narow escapes from having both myself and pony washed
+away to certain death, but as the pioneers of those days had
+plenty of courage we overcame all obstacles and reached
+Virginia City in safety.
+
+Mother died at Black Foot, Montana, 1866, where we
+buried her.  I left Montana in Spring of 1866, for Utah, arriving
+at Salt Lake city during the summer.  Remained in Utah until
+1867, where my father died, then went to Fort Bridger,
+Wyoming Territory, where we arrived May 1, 1868, then went
+to Piedmont, Wyoming, with U.P. Railway.  Joined General
+Custer as a scout at Fort Russell, Wyoming, in 1870, and
+started for Arizona for the Indian Campaign.  Up to this time I
+had always worn the costume of my sex.  When I joined Custer I
+donned the uniform of a soldier.  It was a bit awkward at first
+but I soon got to be perfectly at home in men's clothes.
+
+Was in Arizona up to the winter of 1871 and during that
+time I had a great many adventures with the Indians, for as a
+scout I had a great many dangerous missions to perform and
+while I was in many close places always succeeded in getting
+away safely for by this time I was considered the most reckless
+and daring rider and one of the best shots in the western
+country.
+
+After that campaign I returned to Fort Sanders,
+Wyoming, remained there until spring of 1872, when we were
+ordered out to the Muscle Shell or Nursey Pursey Indian
+outbreak.  In that war Generals Custer, Miles, Terry and Crook
+were all engaged.  This campaign lasted until fall of 1873.
+
+It was during this campaign that I was christened
+Calamity Jane.  It was on Goose Creek, Wyoming, where the
+town of Sheridan is now located.  Capt. Egan was in command
+of the Post.  We were ordered out to quell an uprising of the
+Indians, and were out for several days, had numerous
+skirmishes during which six of the soldiers were killed and
+several severely wounded.  When on returning to the Post we
+were ambushed about a mile and a half from our destination. 
+When fired upon Capt. Egan was shot.  I was riding in advance
+and on hearing the firing turned in my saddle and saw the
+Captain reeling in his saddle as though about to fall.  I turned
+my horse and galloped back with all haste to his side and got
+there in time to catch him as he was falling.  I lifted him onto
+my horse in front of me and succeeded in getting him safely to
+the Fort.  Capt. Egan on recovering, laughingly said:  ``I name
+you Calamity Jane, the heroine of the plains.''  I have borne that
+name up to the present time.  We were afterwards ordered to
+Fort Custer, where Custer city now stands, where we arrived in
+the spring of 1874; remained around Fort Custer all summer
+and were ordered to Fort Russell in fall of 1874, where we
+remained until spring of 1875; was then ordered to the Black
+Hills to protect miners, as that country was controlled by the
+Sioux Indians and the government had to send the soldiers to
+protect the lives of the miners and settlers in that section. 
+Remained there until fall of 1875 and wintered at Fort
+Laramie.  In spring of 1876, we were ordered north with
+General Crook to join Gen'ls Miles, Terry and Custer at Big
+Horn river.  During this march I swam the Platte river at Fort
+Fetterman as I was the bearer of important dispatches.  I had a
+ninety mile ride to make, being wet and cold, I contracted a
+severe illness and was sent back in Gen. Crook's ambulance to
+Fort Fetterman where I laid in the hospital for fourteen days. 
+When able to ride I started for Fort Laramie where I met Wm.
+Hickock, better known as Wild Bill, and we started for
+Deadwood, where we arrived about June.
+
+During the month of June I acted as a pony express rider
+carrying the U.S. mail between Deadwood and Custer, a
+distance of fifty miles, over one of the roughest trails in the
+Black Hills country.  As many of the riders before me had been
+held up and robbed of their packages, mail and money that
+they carried, for that was the only means of getting mail and
+money between these points.  It was considered the most
+dangerous route in the Hills, but as my reputation as a rider
+and quick shot was well known, I was molested very little, for
+the toll gatherers looked on me as being a good fellow, and they
+knew that I never missed my mark.  I made the round trip every
+two days which was considered pretty good riding in that
+country.  Remained around Deadwood all that summer visiting
+all the camps within an area of one hundred miles.  My friend,
+Wild Bill, remained in Deadwood during the summer with the
+exception of occasional visits to the camps.  On the 2nd of
+August, while setting at a gambling table in the Bell Union 
+saloon, in Deadwood, he was shot in the back of the head by the
+notorious Jack McCall, a desperado.  I was in Deadwood at the
+time and on hearing of the killing made my way at once to the
+scene of the shooting and found that my friend had been killed
+by McCall.  I at once started to look for the assassian and found
+him at Shurdy's butcher shop and grabbed a meat cleaver and
+made him throw up his hands; through the excitement on
+hearing of Bill's death, having left my weapons on the post of
+my bed.  He was then taken to a log cabin and locked up, well
+secured as every one thought, but he got away and was
+afterwards caught at Fagan's ranch on Horse Creek, on the old
+Cheyenne road and was then taken to Yankton, Dak., where he
+was tried, sentenced and hung.
+
+I remained around Deadwood locating claims, going from
+camp to camp until the spring of 1877, where one morning, I
+saddled my horse and rode towards Crook city.  I had gone
+about twelve miles from Deadwood, at the mouth of
+Whitewood creek, when I met the overland mail running from
+Cheyenne to Deadwood.  The horses on a run, about two
+hundred yards from the station; upon looking closely I saw they
+were pursued by Indians.  The horses ran to the barn as was
+their custom.  As the horses stopped I rode along side of the
+coach and found the driver John Slaughter, lying face
+downwards in the boot of the stage, he having been shot by the
+Indians.  When the stage got to the station the Indians hid in the
+bushes.  I immediately removed all baggage from the coach
+except the mail.  I then took the driver's seat and with all haste
+drove to Deadwood, carrying the six passengers and the dead
+driver.
+
+I left Deadwood in the fall of 1877, and went to Bear Butte 
+Creek with the 7th Cavalry.  During the fall and winter we built
+Fort Meade and the town of Sturgis.  In 1878 I left the
+command and went to Rapid city and put in the year
+prospecting.
+
+In 1879 I went to Fort Pierre and drove trains from Rapid
+city to Fort Pierre for Frank Witc then drove teams from
+Fort Pierce to Sturgis for Fred. Evans.  This teaming was done
+with oxen as they were better fitted for the work than horses,
+owing to the rough nature of the country.
+
+In 1881 I went to Wyoming and returned in 1882 to Miles
+city and took up a ranch on the Yellow Stone, raising stock and
+cattle, also kept a way side inn, where the weary traveler could
+be accommodated with food, drink, or trouble if he looked for
+it.  Left the ranch in 1883, went to California, going through
+the States and territories, reached Ogden the latter part of
+1883, and San Francisco in 1884.  Left San Francisco in the
+summer of 1884 for Texas, stopping at Fort Yuma, Arizona,
+the hottest spot in the United States.  Stopping at all points of
+interest until I reached El Paso in the fall.  While in El Paso, I
+met Mr. Clinton Burk, a native of Texas, who I married in
+August 1885.  As I thought I had travelled through life long
+enough alone and thought it was about time to take a partner
+for the rest of my days.  We remained in Texas leading a quiet
+home life until 1889.  On October 28th, 1887, I became the
+mother of a girl baby, the very image of its father, at least that
+is what he said, but who has the temper of its mother.
+
+When we left Texas we went to Boulder, Colo., where we
+kept a hotel until 1893, after which we travelled through
+Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, then back
+to Montana, then to Dakota, arriving in Deadwood October 
+9th, 1895, after an absence of seventeen years.
+
+My arrival in Deadwood after an absence of so many years
+created quite an excitement among my many friends of the
+past, to such an extent that a vast number of the citizens who
+had come to Deadwood during my absence who had heard so
+much of Calamity Jane and her many adventures in former
+years were anxious to see me.  Among the many whom I met
+were several gentlemen from eastern cities who advised me to
+allow myself to be placed before the public in such a manner as
+to give the people of the eastern cities an opportunity of seeing
+the Woman Scout who was made so famous through her daring
+career in the West and Black Hill countries.
+
+An agent of Kohl & Middleton, the celebrated Museum
+men came to Deadwood, through the solicitation of the
+gentleman who I had met there and arrangements were made
+to place me before the public in this manner.  My first
+engagement began at the Palace Museum, Minneapolis,
+January 20th, 1896, under Kohl and Middleton's management.
+
+Hoping that this little history of my life may interest all
+readers, I remain as in the older days,
+
+
+Yours,
+
+Mrs. M. BURK
