- Synopsis
- Matchless is a passionate, compelling, and magnificently authentic human drama based on the diary of the woman whose life it celebrates. Written with incredible power and in a dazzling feat of story telling is the narrative of Horace Tabor and his wife, Augusta. Of how they left Maine to seek their fortune and ended up in the mining camps of Colorado. Of how Augusta prepared meals for miners and eventually opened up a store and became postmistress while raising their young son. One day Augusta was at work in the store and Horace with a finger in every political pie and the next they were rich as Midas. From then on, everything Horace Tabor touched turned to gold, or rather, to silver. It was then that their lives diverged. After twenty years of hard work and unity, Augusta was renounced as an embarrassment by a man who had or could buy anything in the world.
