Synoposis: 

The Memoir of Madame Moustache shows how the formative years of a gambler affected her as a career woman in the Old West.

Eleanor Dumont earned the famous nickname “Madame Moustache” during her early life as the most well-known of all blackjack dealers in American pioneer days. One of the bravest and most adventurous women of her time, she became the first female owner of a gambling hall in U.S. history.

Her looks and French Creole charm were legendary. So were her people management skills. She kept rowdy miners, outlaws, and prostitutes under control with the help of a loaded gun, if necessary.

Follow her unique and tragic life from the pinnacle of success to betrayal and, yes, even murder. Join Madame Moustache on her wild ride through the California Gold Rush with the first book of a three-book series. Learn why she was both a pioneer character and a legend.
