The Unsolved Mystery of Silver Dollar Tabor
The truth about Silver Dollar Tabor's fate remains shrouded in mystery. In the tumultuous Prohibition era, authorities closed the books on her case, deeming a horrific scalding incident her demise. But her mother, the steadfast Baby Doe, never believed the girl found was truly her daughter.
Driven by a mother's desperate need for answers, Baby Doe Tabor launched her own relentless search for Silver Dollar, all while fighting to make a living in the desolate Matchless Mine and even collaborating with Warner Bros. to bring the Tabor saga to the silver screen.
Was Silver Dollar, the vibrant spirit of the Silver Boom who captivated audiences as a movie starlet, burlesque, and vaudeville performer, silenced by the brutal hand of Chicago gangsters? Or did a jealous movie star ensure her disappearance? Or was it her alter-ego, Echo, who wanted the spotlight for herself? The questions linger, the answers lost to time and the shadows of a dramatic past. What really happened to Silver Dollar Tabor?
Rebecca Rosenberg brings her extensive research to life in a visual romp through Silver Dollar's Prohibition life and comes up with surprising answers in her new novel, SILVER ECHOES, and GOLD DIGGER: The Remarkable Baby Doe Tabor. Both are available for purchase and book signing.
