Calamity Jane
Calamity Jane was a professional scout and frontierswoman during the Wild West era. She was a heavy alcoholic, and a close, personal friend of Buffalo Bill. In fact, she even performed in his show later in her life. Jane often dressed in men’s clothing, and when Buffalo Bill was murdered, she went after her murderer with a cleaver because she said she had forgotten her guns at home. She was also known for her tall tales, so it’s unknown if this is a true story…or not.

Buffalo Bill
Buffalo Bill Cody was one of the most famous people to ever come out of the Wild West, and he was known worldwide for his show. Before getting into showbiz, though, he was a soldier and a bison hunter. Bill even received the prestigious Medal of Honor in 1972. He had great wealth, but lost much of it before he died. Though, you can’t feel too bad for him, as he was still worth almost $2 million in today’s money.
