    logo_sedonamuseum2Sedona AZ (March 4, 2020) – The Sedona Heritage Museum is hosting the next in its Living History speaker series on Thursday March 12 at 10:00 a.m. at the Museum when Linda Walls and Julie McDonald will tell about “The Sporting Life of Two Arizona Women-Big Nose Kate & Dollie Wiley”. The ‘sporting life’ was a euphemism for prostitution back in the Wild West. The two speakers will share the stories of two such women.

    “Big Nose Kate” is perhaps best known as the on-again, off-again common-law wife of Doc Holiday of Tombstone. She was born into an upper-class family, but her life took many twists and turns, especially after working for Wyatt Earp’s sister-in-law, a ‘Madam’ in Dodge City and tying her fate to the Earps and Holiday. Linda Walls will share Kate’s life in costume and in first-person style.

    Dollie Wiley, “Arizona’s Murderous Madam”, will be the subject of Julie McDonald’s presentation as researched for one of her books. Dollie married at least five times and had countless other lovers and fiancés, more than one of which ended up dead. Starting in mining camp brothels in the West, Dollie advanced to management when she arrived in Prescott, Arizona. Trouble followed her at every stop.

    The Bloody Machine
    By Tommy Acosta
    What is a life anyway? A single “life?” Is it nothing more than a collection of emotions and thoughts, reverberating pain and pleasure, hopes, dreams and fear? Are we merely meat; flesh and blood creations encapsulating what we believe is a soul? Or is a single life the microcosm and macrocosm of human life on earth, each one of us a unique representation of who we believe we are and the whole of humanity at once? We are born. We grow old. We die. Everything we experience is but a dream between those two points. Or are we manifestations of a Divine Creator, every one of us complete in the image that we were made? So, we are told.
