Jack, also known as \"Captain Jack,\" was a pioneer prospector in Gunnison County, Colorado. She operated a series of boarding houses and was a partner in the successful Black Queen Mine (located between Crested Butte and Aspen). According to her own account--which may not be entirely trustworthy--she carried a sixgun and a pickax in her belt, could shoot a pistol in each hand while riding horseback, fought off the advances of all manner of men (including a Mormon who wanted her as his third wife), and bore a scar from a poisoned tomahawk. Later in life she settled in Colorado Springs, where she ran a curio shop and entertained tourists with tales of her many adventures.\u003cbr\u003e=================================\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease see my other auctions \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThank You\u003c\/span\u003e \r\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eRefund Policy: We will issue a FULL REFUND, 100% money back if you are not satisfied with your purchase.
