“The Silver Baron's Wife” tells the story of Baby Doe Tabor, a fiercely independent woman who bucked all social expectations by working in 19th century silver mines, becoming the key figure in one of the West’s most scandalous love triangles, and, after a devastating stock market crash destroyed her second husband’s vast fortune, living in eccentric isolation at the Matchless Mine in Leadville, Colorado.
