  • '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.

  • O My Darlin', O My Darlin,'
    MOCKING WITH ALL DUE RESPECT: PUBLIC HISTORY APPROACHES TO BIOGRAPHY WHA 2007 Conference ©Debra B. Faulkner History can be dry as bones and dull as dust if the “story” part of it is neglected. Tragically, too many people are introduced to the subject by uninspired teachers who. reduce history to an unpalatable stew of dates. Historical biography – especially biography as juicy as Elizabeth Nellis Bonduel McCourt Doe Tabor’s – is too delicious to be served dry. Such a spicy dish can be just the thing to whet appetites for scholarly investigation. Biography is an acquired taste, and as with any gourmet delight, presentation is key. Colorado historian Caroline Bancroft understood this well. She portioned-out local history in easy-to-swallow booklets published in the 1950s and 60s. Her popular biographies, created with the tourist in mind, were handy bite-sized tomes, perfect for light snacking on the road. Bancroft had a flair for characterization and narrative drama. Whatever her research failed to produce, she unapologetically manufactured. Caroline could spin a hell of a yarn – be it history or her story. Her self-published creative efforts were readable, enjoyable, and enormously popular. Though she based her work on documented facts, Bancroft freely invented scenes and dialogue, incorporated hearsay, and simply made up episodes when necessary. As she explained to Denver Post reporter Olga Curtis in 1972, “I improve history when it seems logical. My characters talk, dress up, and get involved in things because history has to have popular appeal. I put in the truth and the folklore, too.” In a 1974 interview with Where magazine, Bancroft defended her invented dialogue.

  • The Ben Gray Lumpkin Collection of Colorado Folklore
    Gene A. Culwell The Ben Gray Lumpkin Collection of Colorado Folklore Professor Ben Gray Lumpkin, who retired from the University of Colorado in June of 1969, spent more than twenty years of his academic career amassing a large collection of folksongs in the state of Colorado. At my request, Profes- sor Lumpkin provided the following information concerning his life and career: Son of John Moorman and Harriet Gray Lumpkin, I was born De- cember 25, 1901, in Marshall County, Mississippi, on a farm about seven miles north of Holly Springs. Grandpa was a Methodist cir- cuit rider, but had to farm to eke out a living because his hill-coun- try churches were too poor to support his family. Because we lived too far from the Hudsonville school for me to walk, I began schooling under my mother until I was old enough to ride a gentle mare and take care of her at school—at the age of 8. When my father bought a farm in Lowndes County, Mississippi, my brother Joe and sister Martha and I went to Penn Station and Crawford elementary schools. Having finished what was called the ninth grade, I went to live with my Aunt Olena Ford, and fin- ished Tupelo High School in 1921, then BA, University of Missis- sippi, 1925. I worked as the secretary and clerk in the Mississippi State Department of Archives and History (September 1925 to March 1929) and in the Mississippi Division office of Southern Bell Telephone Company (March 1929 to August 1930). I taught English and other subjects in Vina, Alabama, High School (August 1930 through January 1932).

  • Matchless Mine, CO
    Matchless Mine, CO September 12 - 24, 2017 PROJECT PARTNER: National Mining Hall of Fame and Museum PROJECT SITE DESCRIPTION AND HISTORY: The Matchless Mine, located in Leadville, Colorado, is one of the most famous sites in the country linked to the history of the old West – but not because of its silver or gold. The Matchless Claim was rst recorded by prospectors in May of 1878. It was eventually purchased by its most famous owner, Horace Tabor (then Lieutenant Governor of Colorado), in 1879-80 after silver was struck at a mine nearby, it proved lucrative for Tabor, and by 1884, according to the Leadville Chronicle as quoted by the National Mining Hall of Fame, “nine-tenths of the high grade ore in Fryer Hill had been mined,” eventually forcing Tabor to mortgage all of his Denver real estate assets. He died in 1899, almost completely penniless. Horace Tabor was not simply a rich miner, however. Born in 1830 into a poor family in Vermont, Tabor moved to Buckskin Joe, CO with his then-wife Augusta Pierce in 1859. He operated a mining supplies and general store there until the couple moved to Leadville prior to his purchasing of the mine. Perhaps the most famous character from this part of America’s history is Horace’s mistress-turned-wife “Baby Doe” (née McCourt), who lived in a cabin annexed to the mine until her death in 1935 when her frozen body was discovered on the wooden oor. Perhaps the most famous example of American opera from the rst half of the 20th century, The Ballad of Baby Doe, was composed by Douglas Moore and premiered in Central City, CO in 1956.

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.
