Calamity, Mohan Pamela

Piecing the clues together, the author weaves a convincing narrative of what life was like for Jane in Deadwood, living on the edge of town with Wild Bill Hickok. and fighting against an epidemic outbreak of smallpox in Deadwood. Calamity offers a sympathetic view of a fearless woman living unabashedly like a man on the frontier.

To enhance the reading (and as a tribute to the old-fashioned books of that period), illustrator/designer Darlene created silhouettes of the storys characters and action. It is the authors intention for the reader to picture their own version of Calamity Jane. The use of silhouettes is designed to encourage the imagination.
