Buffalo Girls is a 1990 novel written by American author Larry McMurtry about Calamity Jane. It is written in the novel prose style mixed with a series of letters from Calamity Jane to her daughter. In her letters, Calamity describes herself as being a drunken hellraiser but never an outlaw. Her letters also describe her larger-than-life cohorts.
Buffalo Girls was later the basis for the 1995 CBS television movie of the same name, starring Anjelica Huston as Calamity Jane and Melanie Griffith as Dora DuFran.
