CALAMITY JANE
CANARY, Martha Jane (“Calamity Jane”) (1852-1903). Life and Adventures. [N.p., n.d., ca. 1896]. 8vo. Original pictorial yellow wrappers (tiny stain on upper cover edge, else fine). FIRST EDITION. “Calamity Jane wandered about the country selling these little pamphlets for an income during her declining years… Calamity brags a lot about what she accomplished in life, and it is said by historians that about the only true statement in this pamphlet is the first paragraph, in which she tells of her birth” (Six Guns 329; “rare”).
