Queen of Denver: The Life and Times of Louise Sneed Hill
The Gilded Age was by no means simply an East Coast phenomenon. Wealth, position and social structure evolved across the country as railroads and improved technology pushed the country west. Denver, Colorado, grew from a "tavern town" at the foothills of the Rockies to an important Western center for commerce and society. Social Denver was largely ruled by the Southern-born Louise Sneed Hill whose very different and modern vision for how society could work paved a path for much more -- including new and more modern roles for women. Author Shelby Carr Neuhauser joins Carl for the fascinating look into a true Western woman of the Gilded Age.This episode was edited by Kieran Gannon.
