Martha Jane was known as Calamity Jane. Martha was in Deadwood, Dakota during the Gold Rush in the Black Hills. She was acknowledged for her habit of dressing in men's clothing. In fact, Martha nursed victims of a smallpox epidemic in 1878 dressed as a man. She was described as a local legend because the Sioux Indians left her alone because of her eccentricities.
