Buffalo Girls by Larry McMurtry

"I am the wild west, no show about it.  I was one of the people who kept it wild...."  Calamity Jane.  An old woman in Montana mud writes a letter to her daughter in the East.  Her name is Martha Jane, but everyone in the west calls her Calamity.  This is the story of Calamity's last days.  Here you will find Indians, beaver hunters, saloons, gunfighters, frontier history, everything you could possibly want in a western.  Calamity Jane and Annie Oakley along with other Western legends go with Buffalo Bill Cody to London to play in the Great Wild West Show.  I love Larry McMurtry and everything I have read by him has been exciting and well written.
