Daniel Boone is the subject of many tall tales from the era of Westward Expansion, but many of his efforts to explore and tame the wilderness are true and exciting. The same can be said of frontiersman Davy Crockett, who died while fighting to protect the Alamo during the Texas Revolution. Annie Oakley is remembered for her marksmanship and for inspiring other women to follow her lead. Today, we still share stories about these historical figures. In this volume, readers will see how these three people became the American legends they are today.

"Welcome to 1876 America, a place bursting with gunslingers, outlaws, and garou--better known as werewolves. And where there are garou, there're hunters: the one and only Calamity Jane, to be precise, along with her fellow stars of Wild Bill's Traveling Show, Annie Oakley and Frank the Pistol Prince Butler. After a garou hunt goes south and Jane finds a suspicious-like bite on her arm, she turns tail for Deadwood, where there's talk of a garou cure. But rumors can be deceiving--meaning the gang better hightail it after her before they're a day late and a Jane short"--OCLC.
