 Scavengers searched for non-existent treasure after her death, but Temple says the real treasure was found in Baby Doe's writing, which has taken decades to archive, analyze and study, and only now is beginning to reveal the inner life of the woman.Temple sees her as one in a long line of women who endured shunning and punishment for her beauty and for being disruptive to prevailing social norms.Temple speculates that Baby Doe's move to Leadville after Horace's death may have been self-shunning from Denver society.
