Colorado Gold - Custom original only available at the
Rocky
Mountain General Store. Text on back: Beginning in 1859, the
Colorado Gold
Rush lasted
throughout the early 1860s and is considered to be the largest gold rush in
American History. For decades, prospectors flooded the rocky Mountains, creating
numerous early towns which ultimately led to the creation of
Colorado Territory
in 1861 and the State in 1876. Today, many of these old settlements have
disappeared or become ghost towns, while others continue to thrive. The photos
depicted on front include
Cripple Creek Mines and Aspen Silver mines first
published at the turn of the century. Postcard
is brand new and in mint condition.

Legendary Baby Doe Tabor - Text on front: Elizabeth Bonduel McCourt Doe was a 25-year-old blue-eyed blonde, just weeks out of her three-year marriage to Central City miner Harvey Doe, when she walked into the life of Colorado's most famous silver baron, Horace Austin Warner Tabor - 24 years her senior. The courtship, Tabor's divorce from his wife Augusta and subsequent marriage to Baby Doe, scandalized America from the boom town of Leadville to Washington D.C. Society in Colorado and Washington turned its back on her, but she continued to help her husband spend his millions in extravagant living. The Silver Panic of 1893 wiped out Tabor fortunes, but Baby Doe - to the amazement of those who earlier called her a gold digger - stood by her husband, selling her lavish possessions to pay his debts. He died April 10, 1899. After that, she lived in abject poverty at the Matchless mine in Leadville, until her death on or about March 6, 1935. True to a legendary promise to her beloved husband, she clung to the mine at all costs. Text on back: Baby Doe - considered
one of the most beautiful women of the late 1800s - set her sights on Horace Tabor, one of the richest men in the west. She scored a bulls-eye and their love story became legend. Postcard is new, unused and in mint condition.
