Summary "Augusta Tabor: Her Side of the Scandal" by Caroline Bancroft is a historical account written in the mid-20th century. The book centers around Augusta Tabor, the first wife of Horace Tabor, a millionaire known for his silver fortunes during the Colorado gold rush. It presents Augusta’s perspective on the personal and public scandal that erupted following her husband's divorce and remarriage to the much younger Baby Doe Tabor, framing the narrative within the social context of the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds through a mix of personal reflections and historical events, as Augusta recounts her life alongside Horace Tabor from their early struggles in mining towns to their meteoric rise in wealth and social standing. The book delves into the trials she faced during their marriage, the eventual fallout from Tabor's infidelity, and her painful experience during the divorce proceedings. Despite the rich backdrop of scandal, there’s a strong undercurrent of Augusta’s resilience and self-identity as she grapples with her place in a society that treated her as a societal pariah while she clung to the hope of Tabor's return. Ultimately, Augusta's story offers insight into the evolving roles of women during this period and the impact of wealth and reputation on personal relationships.
