As I thought I had travelled through life long enough alone and thought it was about time to take a partner for the rest of my days.

It was during this campaign that I was christened Calamity Jane. It was on Goose Creek, Wyoming, where the town of Sheridan is now located.

In 1865 we emigrated from our homes in Missourri by the overland route to Virginia City, Montana, taking five months to make the journey.

I left Montana in Spring of 1866, for Utah, arriving at Salt Lake city during the summer.

We remained in Texas leading a quiet home life until 1889.

While in El Paso, I met Mr. Clinton Burk, a native of Texas, who I married in August 1885.
