I loved this story. I know it's not a true story because I've read about the life of Jane Cannary (Calamity Jane), but I wouldn't be surprised if bits of the story are true. The movie was almost as good as the book. If you like stories about the tough old west, you'll like this one.

Slow and meandering tale of the last days of the mythic symbols of the American West. Calamity Jane, Bill Cody, Sitting Bull, and others, fictional and real, wander through a landscape full of ghosts. Not one of McMurtry's better efforts, though he does manage to pull out a moving final chapter.

This is a great account of the early years of the wild west featuring Calamity Jane and many other colorful characters. Larry McMurtry makes it all come alive.
