Transcriber’s Notes
In the bustling world of 1880s Denver, a striking mansion on Broadway becomes the backdrop for a candid conversation with a woman whose name has been tangled in headlines. Augusta Tabor, recently divorced from the flamboyant “Silver King” Horace A. W. Tabor, sits in her elegant sitting‑room and recounts the tangled legal battle that thrust her into the public eye. Through her own words, listeners hear the bitterness of a broken marriage, the sting of being eclipsed by a newcomer, and the fierce determination to set the record straight.
The narrative weaves together personal memoir, courtroom drama, and the glittering yet ruthless social scene of the era. As Augusta describes the surprise reception held in her honor and the subsequent legal wranglings, the story paints a vivid portrait of a woman fighting for dignity amid scandal. Listeners are drawn into the tension of a high‑profile trial, the clash of personalities, and the quiet resilience that fuels Augusta’s quest for vindication.
