Take a trip back in time to revel in the scandal, murders,
infidelities, financial misdeeds, and just plain bad behavior from
Colorado's past. Public respectability does not always translate into
tidy private lives, and our interest in the naughty behavior of the rich
and famous will never be satisfied. Former Denver Post reporter Dick
Kreck takes us back through Colorado's history to show that the foibles
of people--rich or poor--remain the same. Included are socialites such
as Louise Sneed Hill, who created and ruled over Denver's "Sacred 36"
circle of society; Jane Tomberlin, who met and fell in love with a
"prince" in an elevator at the Brown Palace Hotel; Irene Nolan, who
cavorted late into the night with her family priest; and prominent
Denver clubman Courtland Dines, who was wounded during a frolic with two
silent-screen stars in his Hollywood apartment.
