- Quotes
[in a letter to her daughter]
Calamity Jane: In them days, Janey, there was only two ways for a woman to survive out west - wifin' and whorin'. Since I wasn't cut out for either one, I had to find my own way of surviving. So I lived like a man and sometimes passed myself off as one. It got kind of sticky at times, but it gave me a kind of freedom that few women ever knew.

Featured review
The late 1800s, the myth of the Wild West was fading.
Not sure how it was presented originally but now, in 2021, I was able to watch it on a single DVD, two 90-minute episodes. In 4:3 picture format. The first one focused on the 1870s with real characters like Wild Bill Hickok and Buffalo Bill Cody. The second one contains a lot on the tour Buffalo Bill's Wild West show took through England a few years after.
Through it all the most featured character is Calamity Jane, depicted very well by Anjelica Huston. In the England segment Reba McEntire is very effective as Annie Oakley. All in all a very well presented set of stories about the old west.
My wife watched the first episode with me, I watched both. On DVD from my public library.
