| Summary | Calvin Amadeus James, aka Calamity, isn't an outlaw like his notorious brothers Jesse and Frank. He's worse--due to the bad luck that follows him everywhere he goes. Every job he takes--from army scout to gambler to cowboy and rail worker--ends in catastrophe. No matter what he does, Calamity James always seems to be on the wrong side of history ... The Great Chicago Fire of 1871? Calamity placed the lantern next to the cow that kicked it over. The gunfight at O.K. Corral? Calamity stirred up trouble in Tombstone right before it all went down. The fateful saloon shooting of Wild Bill Hickcock? Blame it on Calamity James. Some folks say he's even responsible for Custer's last stand at Little Big Horn--but Calamity swears it ain't true. He's just a magnet for bad luck who's trying to find his good luck charm--a pretty little dancehall girl known as Clumsy Catherine. But somewhere along the way, he foolishly joins the James-Younger Gang with his outlaw brothers. And that's when Calamity's infamous bad luck gets a whole lot worse. |
