"First printing October, 1951 ... tenth printing May, 2001"--Title page verso.
Description
"On the night Doña Tules Barceló opened her own gambling sala in Santa Fe, no one dared remind the fiery red-haired beauty that her mother had been a peon and that she herself had once worked for forty pennies a year. As she swept gracefully across the only wooden floor in town, she was proudly aware that it was her wits and beauty alone that had made her a rich, powerful woman. The story of this exciting historical figure is a vivid picture of life in the Southwest in the 1830's when all that territory belonged to Mexico...It was a time when all lived dangerously, and Doña Tules Barceló more dangerously than all. Her whole life had been tumultuous...But when a blue-eyed Yankee gave her a gold friendship ring, her luck began to turn and DoñaTules began her role as a notorious gambling queen. She became the governor's mistress and a power in the town where she once had been despised." --,adapted from the back cover.
