About This Item
Simon & Schuster. New York. 1990. Quarter-bound in red with grey paper boards and gilt lettering to spine. Near fine First Edition, First printing with requisite number line ending in 1. Mid lower front and back board has a single bump to the edge. One of the better signatures I've seen is on the flyleaf. Fine unclipped ($19.95) jacket is protected with removable mylar cover. The life and times of the protagonist, Calamity Jane, is packed with the story of her life. A life that helped define "the west". You'll read about gun fights, Wild Bill Hickok (perhaps the love of her life), native anmericans, soldiers, Sitting Bull, Buffalo Bill, Little Big Horn... "the west". 6.25x9.5 in. 350 pg.
Synopsis
Larry McMurtry weaves a bittersweet ending of the "era of the Buffalo Gals" and recreates history in his story, Buffalo Girls. It is the late 1800s, and the famous figures of the Wild West are aging and depressed. Calamity Jane lives in a bordello in Miles City, and is mostly content to remember the excitements of the past, until the arrival of her old friend Buffalo Bill Cody spurs her on one more grand adventure.
