Calamity Jane (real name Martha Jane Burke) was an American frontierswoman. She was born in 1852, possibly at Princeton, Missouri and died in 1903. Renowned for her riding and shooting skills, she was nicknamed 'Calamity' on account of her reputation of threatening 'calamity' upon any man who tried to court her.
