Baby Doe Tabor: The Madwoman in the Cabin, Paperback/Judy Nolte Temple

Descriere & specificații

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 divorcee 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.
