Mehso-so

Sifting through fact & fiction, McLaird puts together a well researched biography that avoids both sanitizing & demonizing the figure of Calamity Jane.

This was fascinating! I only knew the barest folk stories about her, & it was so interesting to see other pieces of her story, like her alcoholism, her acting as a nurse in her communities, & the fact that she had children. A little dry, but well balanced, w/ lots of amazing photos! 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑

My last #Roll100 books of the year! All of these books have been on my physical TBR for years, but I‘m thrilled to push them all to the front of the line!
