The American hunting tradition comes from a time when the United States was an agrarian, subsistence nation where hunting was a profession for some, an auxiliary source of food for some settlers, and also a deterrence to animal predators. A connection between shooting skills and survival among rural American men was in many cases a necessity and a 'rite of passage' for those entering manhood.

Calamity Jane (A Musical Western) is a stage musical based on the historical figure of frontierswoman Calamity Jane. The non-historical, somewhat farcical plot involves the authentic Calamity Jane's professional associate Wild Bill Hickok, and presents the two as having a contentious relationship that ultimately proves to be a facade for mutually amorous feelings. The Calamity Jane stage musical was an adaption of a 1953 Warner Bros. movie musical of the same name that starred Doris Day.

Jane Canary (Robin Weigert), a frontierswoman and former scout for General George Armstrong Custer, first arrived in Deadwood with Wild Bill Hickok and Charlie Utter. She idolizes Hickok, is friends with Utter (albeit grudgingly), and forges a friendship with Doc Cochran, after their joint efforts in protecting Sofia Metz and the doctor's enlistment of her aid in fighting a smallpox epidemic. Known for her hard drinking and swearing, Jane is truculent and abrasive upon first impression, but her character has a loopy humor and an upright moral center that grows on people in the camp, and she is deeply compassionate to the ill and helpless. After Hickok's murder, she sinks into severe depression and alcoholism.

Mary Priestley's continuing ill-health would force the doctor to cancel planned excursions to New York and Boston, and return home early, at the end of May.Dr Priestley [at Philadelphia] to John Fellows [1759-1844, bookseller at New York], 11 April 1796, Bibliothèque municipale de Nantes, Ms 674-170. Joseph Priestley Jr.'s wife, Elizabeth Ryland-Priestley, a middle-class Englishwoman could offer little in the way of care; so, throughout 1796, Margaret Foulke- Priestley, a frontierswoman not slow to roll up her sleeves, nursed Mary Priestley, moving in, and eventually bringing her own sister, so that between the two of them they could nurse Mary Priestley twenty-four hours a day.Priestley to Lindsey, 19 September 1796, cit.

The title background is a sculpture of an American frontierswoman, a child on her left arm and the barrel of a flintlock in her right hand. The picture is dedicated to the women of the wilderness, “the wives and sweethearts who endured martyrdom for love’s sake [and] lie quiet and unsung in the great meadow.” The fortitude of women is the focus of most episodes in the film. In 1777, on their farm in Albemarle County in the Piedmont of Virginia, the Hall family go about their routine, drawing water, feeding chickens, forging tools, plowing rocky hillsides. In the evening, Thomas Hall (Russell Simpson) reads the latest war news to his family—his wife Molly (Sarah Padden), their grown son, Rubin (Guinn “Big Boy” Williams), their daughters Diony (Eleanor Boardman) and Betty (Anita Louise), and the youngest child, Samuel (Andy Shuford).
