Montana has had its share of jerks over the years - enough, anyway, to devote a 1 1/2-hour seminar on the more famous among them.
Take Calamity Jane, for instance. Idol of frontier mythology, right?Not necessarily, say seminar organizers, who have titled Jane's segment "Calamity Jane - Sleaze of the Frontier."
The seminar Friday afternoon in Helena was part of two-day conference sponsored by the Montana Historial Society.
