Calamity Jane


My dear brothers sisters ;

I've decide to leave, it was for me the next step after the scouts. I want to participate in the conquest of the west. I want to travel, participate in fights and take care of the horses. I know that my place is with men and in regiments. I like the danger, to make reign justice that is why i go away . My place is at the heart of the action. I know what we are going to think a woman of my generation must not leave alone, danger is everywhere. A woman must stay at home, i must stay to take care of you by yours side as the state indicates but i wear men's clothes, I drink whiskey , my place is elsewhere. I'm not afraid of unknow, a woman can also manage alone, a woman can hunt alone like a man. So i go an adventure to realize these dreams, i hope to see you again after my expedition see you soon your older sister.
