MADAME MOUSTACHE, THE GAMBLER
Madame Moustache was a beauty icon in the Wild West. Not only that, she was credited as the most notorious blackjack dealer and gambler. Her real name is Eleanor Dumont. It was reported that she was from France, but she worked in different places such as California, South Dakota, Nevada, and Arizona. She gained experience while working and established her own gambling parlor named Vingt-et-un. However, she fell for a conman who took all her earnings. She got back on her feet, moved from city to city, then put up another business, a brothel. Madame Moustache then became very wealthy.
THE WOMAN WITH THE BLUE TATTOO
Olive Oatman was abducted more than a century ago in the West. She was traveling with her family to look for a place to settle. However, it turned into a tragedy as the entire Oatman family was murdered by Native Americans. The two sisters, Olive and Mary Ann, survived. They were held captive and became slaves to the Yavapai and were later sold to a group of Mojave in exchange for horses and vegetables. Mary Ann later died of starvation. The blue tattoo on Olive’s chin was a symbol of the tribal tradition of having a good afterlife.
