Sports: Wait Out Rain Delays On The Web The kicker is, Calamity Jane was born martha cannary and married a man named Clintonburk, so Calamity Jane was, in an it sa-small-world twist, martha burk. http://www.sptimes.com/2003/04/11/news_pf/Sports/Wait_out_rain_delays_.shtml
Extractions: Weather Sports Forums Comics ... Movies Internet By GREG AUMAN, Times Staff Writer Little surprise, there's not a word about the controversy swirling around Augusta National at the tournament's official site, masters.org. Even when the rains subside, that site will fittingly focus on the golf this weekend, perhaps knowing there's plenty of sites joining in on the debate outside the ropes and the national interest in whether women should have the right to become members at the prestigious but private club. And especially if the rains continue, there's never a better time to check out these sites, some siding with Hootie Johnson, some with Martha Burk, all devoted to the issue of women and golf and sexism ... or the chance to make a quick buck while the irons are hot. augustadiscriminates.org: This is Burk's platform for her criticism on the Masters, offering links to e-mail dozens of companies that "sanction sex discrimination" at the club. It describes the Masters as "a model tournament for its beauty, decorum and tradition," but one with "a rotten underbelly." For those questioning her priorities, it should be noted the site for Burk's group, womensorganizations.org, makes its stance on war in Iraq more prominent than its Masters crusade. marthaburk.com: The site is up for sale, offering only a single image of golf great Bobby Jones staring at one of his clubs. Jones named his legendary putter Calamity Jane after the heroine of the American frontier in the 1800s. The kicker is, Calamity Jane was born Martha Cannary and married a man named Clinton Burk, so Calamity Jane was, in an it's-a-small-world twist, Martha Burk.

Extractions: document.write('E-mail this story to a friend'); In the Trophy Room at Augusta National is the famous putter belonging to Bobby Jones, which the Grand Slam champion called "Calamity Jane." Advertisement How Jones arrived at that nickname is not nearly as relevant now as who she was. Calamity Jane was a heroine in the American West during the late 1800s, regarded as a woman ahead of her time. According to various biographical sketches, she did not accept the roles women faced during the rugged pioneer days. Calamity Jane dressed in men's clothing, drove stage coaches and could compete with any man when it came to drinking or handling a rifle. What does this have to do with Augusta National? Calamity Jane was born in 1852 as Martha Cannary. In the "Life and Adventures of Calamity Jane," which she is said to have written, she married Clinton Burk in 1885. That's right.

Extractions: From Calamity Jane Calamity Jane was called, variously, Marthy Cannary or Martha Jane Cannary or Martha Canary, depending on which writer deciphered this slender volume. Ghostwritten for her at the time of her appearance at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York, it presents her own reminiscences. Born, according to her account, in Missouri in 1852, she was certainly in the West by the 1870s, by which time she was presumably in her twenties. While much of her 'autobiography' appears to be invention, she did drive trains of oxen, hauling freight between the mining camps of the Dakota Territory. She did meet, shortly before his murder, Wild Bill Hickok in Deadwood. While some have said there was a marriage, and even a child, between she and Hickok, there is no credible evidence they were ever lovers. That she was "considered a remarkable good shot and a fearless rider for a girl of my age" at thirteen, when she and her family emigrated "by the overland route to Virginia City", is certainly possible. Traveling overland from Missouri to Montana at the end of the Civil War would have certainly called for those skills from anyone who possessed them. Her claim that she was a uniformed scout for George Armstrong Custer in 1870, when she would have barely been eighteen, and that she conveniently missed being at the Battle of the Little Big Horn by falling ill, thus meeting James Butler Hickok by accident and becoming his traveling companion, is less probable.

Extractions: Here comes Calamity! A spiritualist who approached her on Deadwoods Main Street last summer told Dianne Gleason, You really are the spirit of Calamity Jane. Through you she has been given a second chance to finish out her life. Gleason admits she feels a close spiritual connection to the notorious woman who arrived in 1876 Deadwood as an outrider with the Charley Utter wagon train. The picturesque woman who dressed, drank, and swore like a man. The footloose woman, who roamed the west, then returned home to Deadwood to die. Gleason is totally believable as Calamity Jane. Cracking her whip, she stomps onto the Old Towne Hall stage to testify in the re-enactment Trial of Jack McCall , after helping sheriffs deputies capture Wild Bills assassin on Deadwoods Main Street. There are many parallels in the lives of these two women who were born a century apart. Both were on their own at a very early age. Raised in Central Ohio, Gleason left home at the age of 18, moved to Tucson, Arizona, has lived in several western states and travels extensively. Were nomads, Calamity and me, she said. Extensive research into the life of Martha Cannary has given Gleason more than just a superficial understanding of the character she portrays.

Extractions: Calamity Jane was part of the overhead. No woman in the annals of Western gold camp history so captured the imagination as Martha Calamity Jane Cannary. Following prospectors from one gold camp to another, most wayward women of the old west shrouded their shady occupations with phony names and fantasy pasts. Not the flamboyant Calamity Jane. She gloried in the notoriety that pursued her as she wandered in and out of settlements from Montana to Kansas. Dime novels created a fictional heroine with scant resemblance to the woman who wore masculine attire, worked, drank and swore like a man, frequented saloons and sporadically worked as a teamster or bullwhacker, laundress or a cook. Unfortunately, dime novel tales were often confused with fact and grew larger in the telling. Nearly a century after her death, the notorious Calamity is still a subject of controversial stories about her life on the Western frontier. So much misinformation circulated during her lifetime, and since her 1903 demise, serious researchers have problems sifting fact from fiction. Even what seems to be tangible evidence, a ghostwritten autobiography, is filled with tales that dont fit known facts. No one was better at spinning a good yarn than the imaginative Calamity herself. She had no high regard for truth, particularly when she was tight as a goat and cadging drinks in frontier saloons.

Extractions: "Old" Hat Creek Station, approx. 1880. The most dangerous part of the run, however, was the area near the Hat Creek Station, north of Lusk. There, Big Nose George, see Rawlins , committed many of his depredations. The Old Hat Creek Station and Fort, established in 1875 by Capt. James Egan, was located north of the Hat Creek Breaks on Sage Creek. Deadwood Stage Road at Hat Creek Breaks north of Lusk, undated. For discussion of the Hat Creek Breaks see Lusk V The "New" Hat Creek Station, 1909 Others who traveled along the stage road included Martha "Calamity" Jane Cannary Burk, photo below, who achieved fame and, allegedly, her name as a result of her rescuing Capt. Egan from Indians at Goose Creek Camp (now Sheridan). Unfortunately, Calamity Jane, as a result of alcoholism was a continuous calamity. In 1874, she was working at the Jules Ecoffey and Adolph Cuny hog ranch five miles west of Ft. Laramie. Of the hog ranch John G. Bourke (1846-1890), aide de camp to George Crook, wrote: "Several times, on mild afternoon, Lieut. Schuyeler [sic]* and myself went riding, taking the best road out from the post. Three miles and there was a nest of ranches, Cooneys [sic] and Ecoffey's and Wright's*, tenanted by as hardened and depraved a set of wretches as could be found on the face of the globe. Each of these establishments was equipped with a rum-mill of the worst kind and each contained from three to half a dozen Cyprians*, virgins whose lamps were always burning brightly in expectancy of the upcoming bridegroom, and who lured to destruction the soldiers of the garrison. In all my experience, I have never seen a lower, more beastly set of people of both sexes."
