Designed by internationally acclaimed team of architects conventioneers. It is a place to protest; a place to celebrate; a place to advocate for Henry Cobb, I.M.

  • 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.

They have always been present but have either been relegated to passive roles in their own stories or actively considered societal outcasts. They were dramatically stereotyped as either airheads or witches, mothers or daughters, love interests or foes to be conquered. And, along with the character stereotypes came typically associated vocal stereotypes.

  • Ever Young: Douglas Moore and the Persistence of Legend by David Kanzeg
    Ever Young: Douglas Moore and the Persistence of Legend by David Kanzeg As presented at ceremonies marking the 100th anniversary of the birth of Douglas Moore, Free Library, Cutchogue, Long Island, New York, August 14, 1993. David Kanzeg is a native of Cleveland, Ohio, with degrees from the College of Wooster ('70) and Syracuse University ('71). Mr. Kanzeg has been employed in radio and television for more than twenty-five years; including program manager of WNYC-FM, the nation's largest public radio station. His professional accomplishments include the production of nationally distributed radio programs and trouble-shooting for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Mr. Kanzeg is currently the Director of Programming for WCPN, Cleveland Public Radio. Having agreed to help mark such an auspicious occasion, I knew that I was in trouble when a friend wished me luck, and then went on to wonder what I had to do with some folks on Long Island who were having a centennial celebration for Dudley Moore. "Is he 100 already?" Another friend allowed that if they could persuade Kevin Costner to film Douglas Moore's opera The Ballad of Baby Doe maybe, then, they could call it Dances With Wives. Most of my friends, though, have no opinion at all. They know, along with most Americans, nothing about Douglas Moore, or the opera, or the story of the Tabors, on which the opera is based. I wish to speak, today, about all three. First...Moore. Born, Cutchogue, Long Island, August 10th, 1893. Died. Eastern Long Island Hospital in Greenport, Long Island, July 25th, 1969.
