CALAMITY JANE GRAVE! THE OLD WEST! DEADWOOD, SD HISTORY!

[@sullyh4040]

I've just started watching the Deadwood series and I'm intrigued by Jane Canary. Thank you for real information about this interesting woman

[@familytreenutshistorygenealogy]

Interesting indeed!

[@charleslouden7664]

Just started watching these old history videos. I specifically like the old west stories....keep them coming...thanks

[@familytreenutshistorygenealogy]

Yes sir, thanks for the support, so many on the way!

[@vickihelgeson9634]

First time watching your channel and I really enjoyed watching the channel. Thank you for you Channel.

[@familytreenutshistorygenealogy]

Well thank you Vicki! We have so many things planned. What types of videos would you like to see?

[@joshuatraffanstedt2695]

These pioneers mostly all lived a tough life, especially in a place with unforgiving winters like Deadwood. Just goes to show you how well the Sioux had adapted to the environment. I'm glad people thought it relevant to record history as it played out. Rip to all of these American Legends!

[@familytreenutshistorygenealogy]

Amen, it was a hard life for sure. Thanks for watching!

[@nathanduckeorth806]

Very good and informative video

[@familytreenutshistorygenealogy]

Thank you! Much on the way!

[@mandyb4140]

Love the fact her final destination is in Dead wood City.

To be Buried next to Bill.....RIP .....

[@familytreenutshistorygenealogy]

Yep, fitting for sure.

[@johncook8720]

Thanks very much for this, very interesting!

[@familytreenutshistorygenealogy]

You are welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@johncook8720]

Very informative! When you think abt it she didnt live that long ago, and what a fascinating life it was. Thanks again, lookin fwd to more! :)

[@familytreenutshistorygenealogy]

@@johncook8720 No just a few generations. Many of us living, know someone who knew people that lived in that generation...

[@johncook8720]

@@familytreenutshistorygenealogy Thats pretty amazing right there! Would love to step back in time or have a window into how life was back then, the reality of it...not easy.

[@familytreenutshistorygenealogy]

@@johncook8720 Most of us wouldn’t make it. Haha

[@davegalloway7641]

I thought she only knew Wild Bill for about 2 weeks

[@familytreenutshistorygenealogy]

I’m amazed at all the different versions of the same stories that are out there.

[@ancestorstalker1707]

Love anything on old west women. Fascinating.

[@familytreenutshistorygenealogy]

There were some women during that time.

[@nozrep]

so she had problems with alcohol like lots and lots of folks back in those days which I guess sorta like, played into the Temperance Movement of that time. But she also had a compassionate side like you mentioned. Very interesting!

[@familytreenutshistorygenealogy]

Yes, unfortunately it effects so many. Definitely a complex figure in history.

[@gregdavis19]

Did you enjoy the walk all the way up the hill?

[@familytreenutshistorygenealogy]

Lots of scenery there.

[@Whittdocs]

Another great video!

[@familytreenutshistorygenealogy]

Thanks buddy! Let’s do some work together soon!

[@johnbender5356]

I heard that at the time , a popular expression for Veneral disease was having the calamity. Hence her moniker.

[@jane.elliot5782]

I think that's an old wives' tale: I don't think you're old wife knows what she's talking about. We all know how she got her name, whether or not she had a sexually transmitted disease, (most of which were usually fatal, before modern medicine)

[@joshuatraffanstedt2695]

@@jane.elliot5782 most of which? There wasn't many at time. Syphilis and gonorrhea. The latter rarely kills, but it can do a lot of damage (especially to women) and be passed onto newborns. There was no herpes, chlamydia, or none of that.

[@familytreenutshistorygenealogy]

Interesting, hadn’t heard that before. If so, it would have been a horrible nickname.

[@marnieenglish9400]

I've always loved the film with Doris Day along with my family how true was it? Not very it seems x ❤

[@johncook8720]

Yes, it was a very good movie. As is the case a lot of times, theyll take a basic framework of a persons life and completely exagerrate it or add/delete stuff out, all for hollywood entertainment purposes. It may be a fun movie, but a good bit of truth got lost in the translation.

[@familytreenutshistorygenealogy]

Hate that the add and subtract but glad that movies help to document.

[@imdeplorable2241]

You say she was 51 but, that stone marker says 47. ?

[@familytreenutshistorygenealogy]

Good observation. There is often conflicting birth dates in genealogy. We’d need to do some more digging into that.

[@gbmarie836]

If she is also known as Mrs. M.E. Burke, how did she get that name?

[@familytreenutshistorygenealogy]

Her name was Martha and she married Charley Burke.

[@meanderingtenacity4683]

Why does the tombstone say Calamity Jane was 47 at time of death, but other accounts say she was 51 at time of death?

[@silviadesiree]

Se va el sonido en el segundo 10, solo me pasa con este video 😢

[@familytreenutshistorygenealogy]

Interesante, parece que nos va bien cuando lo jugamos.

[@stevehungler6224]

Interesting story, but you said she was 51 when she passed, yet her marker states "Aged 47"... did she live into her 50's?

[@familytreenutshistorygenealogy]

Like many people from the era there is discrepancies as to her birth years. The common accepted dates for her today are 1852-1903z

[@MsRobinG]

If you don't know whether or not she had a daughter, then why bring it up?

[@familytreenutshistorygenealogy]

I think she was just making reference to it.

[@elizabethwelty2370]

She was married to william p steers?

[@familytreenutshistorygenealogy]

Yes
