Legacy Trades and Businesses Issue 41, 2020 Legacy Trades and Businesses Trades Legacy 2020—A Time to Celebrate Our Legacy Trades and Businesses COVID-19, social distancing, virtual gatherings and curbside pick-up. 2020 has been a year of many new things—certainly one for the history books. The Jefferson County Historical Commission has been working to adapt to the new normal, operating remotely, holding meetings on virtual platforms and trading our signature in-person events (the Historic Preservation Symposium and the Hall of Fame) for video streaming on our social media pages and new YouTube channel. Like many of you, we look forward to the days when we can once again meet face-to-face with each other and with you, the members of our wonderful community. Before we knew “the rona” (as some folks call the novel coronavirus) and how it would change our lives, the JCHC had selected as our 2020 theme “Jeffco’s Legacy Trades and Businesses .” Little did we know what awell-timed choice that would turn out to be. For our commercial enterprises have heavily felt the burden of this pandemic due to stay-at-home orders and restrictions intended to protect public health. It is fitting that we turn our attention to the histories of these businesses and shine a light on them to provide our support just as they have helped build and maintain our communities for so many years. After all, where would Jefferson County be without its entrepreneurs? Those stalwart men and women who for generations have worked long hours to build “mom-and-pop” general merchandise stores, coffee shops and bakeries, auto dealers and repair shops, ranches and greenhouses, breweries and taverns—the places we remember visiting as children and where we buy our essential goods and services as adults. Join us as we delve into the histories of our local trades and businesses large and small. And, when you can, please continue to support these local gems just as they have continued to keep our communities strong and vibrant.

It started as a lumber camp, then became a railroad stop when the Denver, South Park & Pacific Railroad was established there in 1878. Trains transported lumber, minerals, livestock, ice, and passengers to the mountain town and beyond. The following year, a 16-year-old boy named John William Green traveled from Virginia to Denver to seek his fortune. He boarded a train Early photo postcard of “J.W.

  • 'Baby' Tabor - 'The Ballad of Baby Doe' - Includes Related Information
    This cloud had a silver lining: the Washington Opera has revived the improbable story of Horace and 'Baby' Tabor - 'The Ballad of Baby Doe' - includes related information Insight on the News, Feb 10, 1997 by T.L. Ponick No matter how hard he tried, luck always seemed to elude Horace Tabor, the central figure in a celebrated mining-town rags-to-riches saga. From before the Civil War to the boom times of the 1870s, Tabor prospected for gold and silver in the craggy mountains of Western Colorado without much to show for it. When, suddenly, he hit pay dirt, he became the biggest man in Leadville and one of the richest in Colorado. Tabor built an opera house, cast off his dour-looking wife, hitched himself to a colorful woman of dubious virtue named "Baby" Doe and spent money as of he owned the Denver mint -- only to die penniless at century's end, a victim of the nation's abandonment of freely coined silver, leaving his flamboyant wife in rags. Authentic legends of the West, Horace and Baby Doe Tabor and their times were brought to the stage in July 1956 by composer Douglas Moore and librettist John Latouche for the Central City Opera of Denver. The Ballad of Baby Doe was revised for its New York City Opera premiere in 1958, with Beverly Sirs starring in the difficult coloratura role of Baby. In January, the Washington Opera unveiled its production featuring soprano Elisabeth Comeaux and baritone Richard Stilwell, a Metropolitan Opera veteran, as the Tabors, with mezzo Phyllis Pancella as the spurned wife Augusta.

  • 1 Baby Doe Tabor Is a Timeless Figure in Colorado History
    Baby Doe Tabor: Colorado’s Legend “When Baby Doe first saw the mountains, she had an inexplicable feeling that her destiny was bound up in those distant granite fortresses.” 1 Baby Doe Tabor is a timeless figure in Colorado history. Her story has been committed to film, opera, and literature time and again. Although there are many parts that are the same in the various renditions of her story. There are three critical parts that are all perceived differently across time; her life in Central City prior to meeting Horace Tabor, her relationship and life with Horace, and her long and lonely vigil at the Matchless Mine in Leadville, Colorado after Horace’s death. These three are perceived differently largely based upon the fact that the authors craft their language so as to present the reader with different perspectives on the event. 1 Gordon Langley Hall, The Two Lives of Baby Doe (Philadelphia: Macrae Smith Co., 1962), 69. 1 Because of continual retelling Baby Doe’s story remains an integral part of Colorado’s history. What is it about her that makes her such an important and timeless figure? Why are authors and historians so fascinated with her? Her story begins simply enough. Elizabeth Bonduel Nellis McCourt was born in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Her official birth date has never been agreed upon, as the official records were destroyed in a fire when she was a teenager. She was christened on October 7, 1854 when she was estimated to be about 12 days old.2 She first arrived in Colorado in 1877 on the arm of her new husband Harvey Doe; they settled themselves in Central City to work some mining claims belonging to Harvey Doe Senior.

    Medical Frontiers: Women Physicians and the Politics and Practice of Medicine in the American West, 1870-1930 by Jacqueline D. Antonovich A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in the University of Michigan 2018 Doctoral Committee: Professor Alexandra Minna Stern, Co-chair Professor Regina Morantz-Sanchez, Co-chair Professor Anna Kirkland Professor Matthew D. Lassiter Professor Martin Pernick Jacqueline D. Antonovich [email protected] ORCID iD: 0000-0002-6295-7735 © Jacqueline D. Antonovich 2018 For my younger self. A single mother, working as a waitress, with only an associate degree in hand. You are my inspiration every day. ii Acknowledgements Years ago, when I decided to return to school to finish my bachelor’s degree, I never imagined that the journey would end with a Ph.D. I want to thank the History Department at the University of Michigan for taking a chance on me, and I also want to encourage them to keep taking chances on students like me – first-generation, non-traditional students bring a valuable and much-needed perspective to the academy. Alexandra Minna Stern is a phenomenal advisor. Her scholarly insight and professional mentorship has made this dissertation a stronger project, and I am a better historian because of her. My dissertation co-chair, Regina Morantz Sanchez, provided unwavering support over the past seven years. She has always taken my claims about the importance of medical women’s politics seriously, and graciously opened up both her home and her archives to me. Martin Pernick taught me not only how to be a pretty good medical historian, but also how to be an excellent teacher.
