General Custer
Martha Jane told the story as such: General Custer himself recruited her as a scout based in Fort Russel. She claimed to have run missions with the US Army, ones that stretch as far as Arizona. However, this is where her story fell apart. There are no records to prove any of it. Also, Custer never stepped foot in Arizona.

Other stories swirled that Martha Jane spent a lot of time in this period of her life in the infamous hub of debauchery, Fort Laramie Three-Mile Hog Ranch. When finances were short, she joined ranks of other ladies of the night. But she never allowed others to write her story for her.
