Silver Queen

Silver Queen: The Fabulous Story of Baby Doe Tabor is a biography written by Caroline Bancroft that chronicles the life of Elizabeth ""Baby Doe"" Tabor. Baby Doe was a prominent figure in the late 19th century Colorado mining industry, and her story is one of rags-to-riches-to-rags. Bancroft explores Baby Doe's early life as a poor girl from Wisconsin, her move to Colorado, and her marriage to Horace Tabor, one of the richest men in the state. The book also delves into the couple's lavish lifestyle and their eventual downfall due to the collapse of the silver market. Baby Doe's resilience and determination are highlighted as she tries to rebuild her life after her husband's death and the loss of her fortune. The biography is a captivating tale of a woman who defied societal norms and made a name for herself in a male-dominated industry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
