429Leadville Colorado Baby Doe Tabor Archive of Letters Notes Clippings Paperwork Scraps and Ephemera from Horace Tabor and Baby Doe Tabor.<br /> <br /> Collection all in protective sleeves. Most of the material has been well preserved and remains in very good condition. Many of Baby Does handwritten notes were written on scraps old calendars or envelopes and the condition reflects this. Her writing can be a little difficult to read but most of the longer notes have been transcribed. Overall very good condition.<br /> <br /> Horace Austin Warner "Haw" Tabor 1833-1899 also known as "The Bonanza King of Leadville" arrived in Colorado in April 1859 during the Pike's Peak Gold Rush. He was accompanied by his first wife Augusta and their son Nathaniel. In 1860 he tried prospecting at California Gulch in Oro City the area that would eventually become Leadville. But after those prospects were not successful he relocated to Park County settling in Laurette. There they operated a store and Horace served as the postmaster.<br /> <br /> In 1877 Tabor and family returned to the Oro City area and operated a general store. Heavy black sand had been plaguing miners and--in a discovery reminiscent of the Comstock Lode "blue muck" revelation--it was found to be the lead mineral cerussite rich in silver.<br /> <br /> Tabor made his first fortune in the Little Pittsburg Mine. Its mine owners were not able to pay their bill at Tabor's store so he accepted an interest in the mine as payment. His gamble paid off. On May 3 1878 the mine revealed massive silver lodes that kicked off the Colorado Silver Boom. In 1879 Tabor sold his interest in the mine for $1 million. He used this money to invest in other mining operations including the Chrysotile and the Matchless Mines as well as mines and real estate in Cripple Creek Aspen the San Juan Mountains and more. By 1879 his fortune was close to $6 million.<br /> <br /> Tabor and fellow mine owner August Meyer are credited with founding Leadville and Horace Tabor served as Leadville's first mayor.<br /> <br /> Tabor invested heavily in Leadville. He built the Tabor Grand Hotel the Tabor Opera House the Bank of Leadville newspapers public works projects the Tabor Block and more. He served as Lieutenant Governor of Colorado from 1878-1884 then briefly as a US Senator from Colorado Jan.-March 1883 replacing Senator Teller. Later he unsuccessfully ran for governor of Colorado.<br /> <br /> In 1879 the rich Tabor family moved to Denver. However it was not a happy home. Horace was a gambler and reckless with money and his marriage to Augusta became strained. In 1880 he met and had an affair with Elizabeth McCourt who would later be known as "Baby Doe." The pair met in a restaurant in Leadville and McCourt recounted her story of arriving in Leadville and working for Jacob Sands who was interested in her romantically. Tabor gave her $5000 and McCourt relocated to the Windsor Hotel in Denver. In 1882 he divorced Augusta and in 1883 he publicly married McCourt an event that was considered very scandalous at the time. At the time Tabor was 52 and McCourt was 28.<br /> <br /> For a time Horace and Baby Doe lived a life of luxury. They had two daughters Elizabeth Bonduel "Lily" and Rosemary "Silver Dollar" Echo. But in 1893 the repeal of the Sherman Silver Purchase Act caused a drop in the price of silver that destroyed Tabor's fortune. He went back to work in mining and even became postmaster of Denver. In 1899 he fell ill with appendicitis and died on April 10th. His last wish was for the Matchless Mine to remain in Baby Doe's possession. The Aspen Tribune reported that ten thousand people attended his funeral.<br /> <br /> Baby Doe moved back to Leadville with her daughters where they lived in a cabin on the Matchless Mine site. She tried to find investors to restart production in the mine but it had severe flooding problems. This began the final dark chapter in her once luxurious life. She lived in poverty wearing burlap sacks around her legs in the cold winters. With no money she ate very little living on stale bread and suet and refused to accept charity. This was her life for her final 35 years.<br /> <br /> Baby Doe lived in the cabin with her daughter Silver Dollar. Her older daughter Lily had left and lived with family in Wisconsin. Eventually Silver Dollar left Leadville for Denver working as a writer for the Denver Times but struggling with alcohol abuse. She moved to Chicago and after working as a dancer she became the mistress of a Chicago gangster. In 1925 Silver Dollar was found scalded to death under suspicious circumstances in her Chicago boarding house where she had been living under the name "Ruth Norman." For the rest of her life Baby Doe refused to believe the woman found as Ruth Norman had been her daughter stating "I did not see the body they said was my little girl."<br /> <br /> During her final decades on the Matchless Mine property Baby Doe wrote incessantly in diaries letters and scraps that she called "Dreams and Visions" consisting of about 2000 fragments later found bundled in piles of paper in her cabin. Some of these entries are included in this lot. She became very religious. Once the Queen of Leadville she was now considered an outcast madwoman wandering the streets of Leadville dressed in a mixture of women's and men's clothing.<br /> <br /> In March 1935 during a brutal winter in Leadville she was found dead in her cabin having frozen to death at the age of 81. Her body was taken by train to Denver and she was buried next to Horace at the Mount Olivet Cemetery in Wheat Ridge Colorado.<br /> <br /> The Archive<br /> <br /> Horace Tabor Items<br /> <br /> 1 Five Leadville billheads for Tabor businesses. <br /> <br /> 2 Extremely rare brass tag for the Pioneer Stage Company. Pioneer / Stage Co. / 164 / T. & W. Marked on the reverse: Novelty MFG Co / Denver Col. 1.5" heart shaped. c.1880. Tabor acquired an interest in this company in 1880. He formed a partnership with Perley Wasson the original Leadville stage owner hence "T.&W." on the tag. In 1881 Tabor bought out Wasson and focused the traffic between Rockwood and Rico. The company was renamed the HAW Tabor Pioneer Stage & Express Line.<br /> <br /> 3 Four stocks related to the Tabor Grand Hotel. <br /> <br /> 4 Ten revenue checks incl. Tabor autographs. <br /> <br /> Baby Doe Tabor Items<br /> <br /> 1 Personal notes/reflections by Baby Doe. These astonishing pieces are a window into Baby Doe's troubled thoughts and dreams during her years in poverty in the Matchless Mine cabin.

Covers and letters. Some have small handwritten notes in pencil from Baby Doe. Approximately 50 items.

Please inspect.<br /> <br /> 3 Newspaper clippings. 15 or so pieces. One has a note that it was kept by Baby Doe. A few others have pencil notations. Thus it is believed that these were all clippings kept by Baby Doe. Articles about Leadville and Horace Tabor.<br /> <br /> 4 Baby Doe items related to Jacob Sands. Six pieces. Sands was the benefactor of Baby Doe when she first arrived in Leadville and pursued her romantically. Items include: 1893 Leadville BPO Elks ledger page with Jacob Sands signature on first line; 1880s Sands Pelton & Co. Leadville billhead; 190- Sands Brothers Leadville billhead and letterhead; 1892 state of Colorado document dateline Amethyst Colorado about draft from Sands Bros.; and 1904 Sands Outfitting Company Denver billhead.<br /> <br /> 5 Misc. items. Includes: 1935 Denver Post special edition all about the death of Baby Doe and the story of the Tabors; more modern newspaper clippings about Baby Doe; a dozen postcards some RPC of Horace and Baby Doe; unknown handwritten notes.<br /> <br /> Fascination remains high regarding the legends of Horace and Baby Doe Tabor. Shops in Leadville are filled with modern ephemera telling their story. However original material owned or written by either Horace or Baby Doe is uncommon. Especially rare are the writings of Baby Doe as she descended into poverty and wild dreams.
