Description
"Long before her body was found frozen in the Leadville shack where for decades she had guarded the Matchless Mine, Elizabeth McCourt "Baby Doe" Tabor was the stuff of legend. For thirty-five years, Baby Doe, who was considered mad, lived in solitude high in the Colorado Rockies. Baby Doe Tabor left a record of her madness in a set of writings she called her "Dreams and Visions." These were discovered after her death but never studied in detail - until now." "In Baby Doe Tabor: The Madwoman in the Cabin, author Judy Nolte Temple retells Lizzie's story with greater accuracy than any previous biographer. She unpacks the mythology to uncover Lizzie's actual experiences as told in her fragmentary writings and correspondence. Undertaking the first close analysis of Lizzie's writings, Temple reveals a story more heartbreaking than the legend and, for the first time, gives voice to the woman behind the myth."--BOOK JACKET
