40: Meet Calamity...Doris?
Update: 2007-02-02
Description
Having finished with Henry James, I thought we needed a REAL woman to freshen our pallette.... Not so much Doris. Don't know if you've watched (NOT for sensitive ears!), but it at least started out as far as I can tell. My son and I got to see Wild Bill and Jane's graves when we drove through there in early August. We ate where Bill was killed by Jack McCall--which sounds more morbid than it is...he was killed in the poker room of a saloon. They stage reenactments of his murder every night, I think. Jane was quite something. CHEERS! And here in the "costume" of her sex. I'm sorry it's a guy reading the autobiography, but it's still amazing to hear her own words. She was one tough cookie. And while she has the reputation for being, um...not the most attractive woman of her time, I think she was actually a rather handsome woman--far less...weathered than I would have imagined for one of Custer's scouts. And then a little Bret Harte For some more local color and American Realism. Let's bring ourselves back from the mannered Victorian brink into a little good old American...Puritanism? Victorianism? Ah... When everyone knew their place... And then some really cool links sent by really cool listeners like Spider_Knit who sent me the and Dawn who sent the and ! Whoo hoo! WARNING: Some of you were good enough to let me know pronto that there was a problem with the file. I fixed the glitch in the audio file and replaced it, but not before some podcatchers downloaded it. Sorry about that. If you re-download you should be fine. Many apologies!
