	I'd bet the Stevens Model 34 ("Hunter's Pet") and the cheap pocket revolver thrust into her belt are studio props, added to make Miss Canary look even more dangerous than she likely was. Bill Lawrence

	At least a dozen photos of Calam are known to-date, not all of which make her look like a tom-woman. The first photo here shows her at her youngest and slimmest and almost pretty. Bill Lawrence

	westerner wrote on Aug 18^th, 2022 at 1:31pm: I wonder what was really under those buckskins... Well, here's one view: “Her spasmodic generosity; her brusque, rough sympathy for the underdog; her failure to be impressed with riches, fine clothes or ‘society’; her lack of pretense or affectation of virtue; her complete rejection of simpering femininity, such attributes were esteemed on the frontier. She was a symbol of rough virtue—hardiness with a heart of gold and a lively sense of humor. Few who were anywhere near the scene of her activities were in the least deceived about her status as a kind of eccentric prostitute. Nowhere in the record is there approval of her aberrations but there is much support for the view that her virtues outweighed her vices.” Black Hills Daily Times, 1895 (cf.
