CALAMITY JANE There are so many stories about Calamity Jane that were exaggerated or downright false — especially the ones Jane herself told — that it’s hard to get a true picture of this legendary character. Here’s what we know: Martha Jane Canary was born in Missouri in 1852, the oldest of six children. By 1867, both parents were dead, and 15-year-old Jane, living in Wyoming, supported her younger siblings as a dishwasher, cook, nurse, ox team driver, dance-hall girl, occasional lady of the night and later Army scout. In 1876 she joined Wild Bill Hickok and Charlie Utter traveling by wagon train to Deadwood. As far as we know, she and Wild Bill were not terribly close, despite her later claims. She was a wild, hard-drinking woman who dressed like a man and swore better than most. But she had her compassionate side, tending the sick. Calamity Jane died in the nearby town of Terry in 1903, and was buried at Mount Moriah next to Wild Bill.

But if the inscription on the Thoen Stone is to believed, prospectors were here 40 years before that. The sandstone slab, about 8 by 10 inches, was found near Lookout Mountain near Spearfish in 1887 by the Thoen brothers, who were local stone masons. It bore an inscription that began, “Came to these hills in 1833 seven of us.” It ends with, “All dead but me, Ezra Kind …. Got our gold June 1834. Got all the gold we could carry. Our ponies all got by the Indians. I have lost my gun and nothing to eat and Indians hunting me.” The Thoen Stone is on display at the Adams Museum in Deadwood.
