Buffalo Girls

This novel represents McMurtry's version of the Calamity Jane story. The framework of this novel is a series of letters from Calamity to Janey, her daughter by Wild Bill Hickok. Buffalo Bill Cody is trying to put together Western oldtimers for his Wild West Show command performance for Queen Victoria. But Calamity Jane is a drunkard, and the others in the band are just as worn-out by their hard living. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
