Calamity James

In this entertaining standalone novel from bestselling author Johnstone, readers discover the extraordinary tale of Calvin Amadeus James, also known as Calamity, Jesse James's less-famous brother. Unlike his outlaw siblings, Calamity is plagued by misfortune, leading to disasters in every occupation he attempts, from army scout to rail worker. As he unwittingly finds himself implicated in historic events like the Great Chicago Fire and the gunfight at the OK Corral, Calamity's quest for a good luck charm—dancehall girl Clumsy Catherine—takes an unexpected turn when he joins the notorious James-Younger Gang, amplifying his already infamous streak of bad luck.
