A Rags to Riches to Rags,
This review is from: Silver Queen: The Fabulous Story of Baby Doe Tabor (Paperback)
This book leaves the reader yearning for more detail about some of the other real life characters such as HAW Tabor and his first wife, Augusta. The life of Baby Doe spanned an incredible point in Colorado history and left me searching for more history on the rise and fall of Leadville, Colorado. The book is not long on detail but it is an excellent starting point for further readings.

Truth more fascinating than fiction!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Silver Queen: The Fabulous Story of Baby Doe Tabor (Paperback)
This is a short read, but so interesting! Baby Doe Tabor's life story is something right out of a soap opera. What an incredible life she had. I sat down and read it at one sitting - each page has so many fascinating historical and dramatic elements. I agree with the previous reviewer - this would make for a fantastic movie (there was an earlier rather fictionalized one mentioned in this book). Drama, romance, passion, revenge, murder...it's all here and all true!

4.0 out of 5 stars
Unbelievable true story of a fascinating era!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Silver Queen: The Fabulous Story of Baby Doe Tabor (Paperback)
The story involves love, adultery, incredible wealth, scandal- all in the beautiful Rockies. The book will have you hungry for more information about this fascinating woman. Her beauty took her from poverty in the dirty mining town of Leadville to Washington,DC where the President attended her scandalous and much talked about second wedding! She became one of the wealtheast women in the country spending sinful amounts of money.Great photos show her beauty.Would make a great movie. Drew Barrymore could play the part! There is a remarkable resemblence.The writing is unsophisticated but will keep your interest.
