Martha Jane Cannary (Calamity Jane), 1848-1903
Scope and Contents
This collection consists of research material Dr. Burgess collected while researching her dissertation, Family Structure and Dynamics in Early Utah Mormon Families, 1847-1885, and her later book, Sister Saints. The first three boxes include subject files about various Latter-day Saint women which are arranged alphabetically by last name. Dr. Burgess initially intended to publish a two-volume book, but the project was scaled down to one volume for the publication of Sister Saints. Box 4 includes photocopied journal and magazine articles, as well as a few primary source documents. The last box contains correspondence with the publisher, conference material, interviews, research notes, and miscellaneous research materials.
