Download or read book Baby Doe Tabor written by Judy Nolte Temple and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2012-11-27 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Baby Doe Tabor has seduced America for more than a century. Long before her body was found frozen in a Leadville shack near the Matchless Mine, Elizabeth McCourt “Baby Doe” Tabor was the stuff of legend. The stunning divorcée married Colorado’s wealthiest mining magnate and became the “Silver Queen of the West.” Blessed with two daughters, Horace and Baby Doe mesmerized the world with their wealth and extravagance. But Baby Doe’s life was also a morality play. Almost overnight, the Tabors’ wealth disappeared when depression struck in 1893. Horace died six years later. According to the legend, one daughter left home never to return; the other died horribly. For thirty-five years, Baby Doe, who was considered mad, lived in solitude high in the Colorado Rockies. Baby Doe Tabor left a record of her madness in a set of writings she called her “Dreams and Visions.” These were discovered after her death but never studied in detail—until now. Author Judy Nolte Temple retells Lizzie’s story with greater accuracy than any previous biographer and reveals a story more heartbreaking than the legend, giving voice to the woman behind the myth.
Download or read book Silver Queen The Fabulous Story Of Baby Doe Tabor written by Caroline Bancroft and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2016-08-09 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a fascinating autobiography of Baby Doe Tabor, the second wife of pioneer Colorado businessman Horace Tabor, whose rags-to-riches and back to rags again story made her a well-known figure in her own day, and at one time hailed as the “best dressed woman in the West.” It was during Baby Doe’s final years of her life living in a shack on the site of the Matchless Mine, enduring great poverty, solitude, and repentance, that fellow Coloradan Caroline Bancroft met Baby Doe, who had known Bancroft’s father for many years, and became fascinated by her “smile, the manner, the voice and the flowery speech [...] despite her diminutive size.” Following Tabor’s death in the Matchless Mine cabin on March 7, 1935, Bancroft was commissioned to write her biography, her greatest source of information provided by Sue Bonnie, who had discovered Tabor’s body. This book, originally published in 1955, is the result: “Baby Doe Tabor tells us of her life in nearly her own words—many she actually used in talking to Sue Bonnie and others I have imagined as consonant with her character and the facts of her story.”

Download or read book The Baby Dolls written by Kim Marie Vaz and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2013-01-18 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the first women's organizations to mask and perform during Mardi Gras, the Million Dollar Baby Dolls redefined the New Orleans carnival tradition. Tracing their origins from Storyville-era brothels and dance halls to their re-emergence in post-Katrina New Orleans, author Kim Marie Vaz uncovers the fascinating history of the "raddy-walking, shake-dancing, cigar-smoking, money-flinging" ladies who strutted their way into a predominantly male establishment. The Baby Dolls formed around 1912 as an organization of African American women who used their profits from working in New Orleans's red-light district to compete with other Black prostitutes on Mardi Gras. Part of this event involved the tradition of masking, in which carnival groups create a collective identity through costuming. Their baby doll costumes -- short satin dresses, stockings with garters, and bonnets -- set against a bold and provocative public behavior not only exploited stereotypes but also empowered and made visible an otherwise marginalized female demographic. Over time, different neighborhoods adopted the Baby Doll tradition, stirring the creative imagination of Black women and men across New Orleans, from the downtown Trem area to the uptown community of Mahalia Jackson. Vaz follows the Baby Doll phenomenon through one hundred years with photos, articles, and interviews and concludes with the birth of contemporary groups, emphasizing these organizations' crucial contribution to Louisiana's cultural history.

Download or read book The Legend of Baby Doe written by John Burke and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1989-01-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her pulchritudinous prime Baby Doe was called the Silver Queen of Colorado by journalists and "that shameless hussy" by the proper wives of the men who eyed her. Flirtatious, adventurous, ambitious, Elizabeth McCourt Doe gave everyone a lot to talk about when she met Horace Tabor, the Silver King of Leadville, in 1880. Three years later they were free to legalize their passion. Although thirty years separated them, they were well matched in romantic recklessness. If The Legend of Baby Doe is the lowdown on the high jinks of two public lives, it is also the story of a love that survived spectacularly good times and bad. Before bad times came, Baby and Horace went on a spending spree. They built an opulent opera house in Denver and bought an Italian-ate villa. Baby Doe went out bejeweled and ermined, and sat at home alone, snubbed by the social dragons. John Burke has written about the giddy rise of a bonanza king who dreamed of entering the White House with Baby Doe on his arm and about the disastrous fall they took together. Wiped out by unwise investments and the Panic of 1893, Tabor soon died, leaving Baby Doe and their two daughters penniless. Reportedly, his deathbed order was to "hang on to the Matchless," a played-out mine filled with water. She managed to do that for almost four decades, struggling heroically against loneliness, poverty, and heartbreak, and becoming one of the great legends of the American West.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans are accustomed to anecdotal evidence of the health care crisis. Yet, personal or local stories do not provide a comprehensive nationwide picture of our access to health care. Now, this book offers the long-awaited health equivalent of national economic indicators. This useful volume defines a set of national objectives and identifies indicatorsâ€"measures of utilization and outcomeâ€"that can "sense" when and where problems occur in accessing specific health care services. Using the indicators, the committee presents significant conclusions about the situation today, examining the relationships between access to care and factors such as income, race, ethnic origin, and location. The committee offers recommendations to federal, state, and local agencies for improving data collection and monitoring. This highly readable and well-organized volume will be essential for policymakers, public health officials, insurance companies, hospitals, physicians and nurses, and interested individuals.

Download or read book Frozen to the Cabin Floor written by Tracy Beach and published by . This book was released on 2018-12-26 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forget everything you thought you knew about Mrs. Elizabeth Bonduel Tabor. For over 80 years, historians and authors alike have filled dozens of books describing her as crazy or mad. They claim that Mrs. Tabor spent 36 years living the life of a hermit, inside an old tool shed, located at a Silver Mine she didn't even own...but nothing could be farther from the truth. Marrying first for money, then engaging in two scandalous affairs, Elizabeth Tabor set social protocol aside to become the Silver queen of Colorado, before her world came crashing down. Following the death of her second husband and with two children to feed, she held her head high and fought the corrupt men who stole her deceased husband's fortune and rebuilt a new life for her daughters. Building her own alliances and becoming a successful business woman and mine owner, she watched in despair as her oldest daughter married a close family member, while her youngest daughter slid into alcoholism and prostitution. Desperate for a distraction, Elizabeth Tabor spent the warm Colorado months dressing in men's overalls and digging silver ore from her mines by hand, until just before her death at the age of 80. From running inside a burning apartment building to save a cat, dressing nude roman statues in lingerie to piss off the neighbors, fighting alongside the Unsinkable Molly Brown for women's rights and chasing away trespassers with a loaded shot gun, Elizabeth Tabor held onto her pride and her Catholic faith with firm fist, until her dying breath.
