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.
