Life and Legends of Calamity Jane
ISBN: 9780806146324 / Angielski / Twarda / 2020 / 404 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Everyone knows the name Calamity Jane.

This lively, concise, and exhaustively researched biography traces the real person from the Missouri farm where she was born in 1856 through the development of her notorious persona as a Wild West heroine. Before Calamity... Everyone knows the name Calamity Jane. Scores of dime novels and movie and TV Westerns have portrayed this original Wild West woman as an advent... |
