- Kitty_Leroy abstract "Kitty Leroy (1850 - December 7, 1878) was a gambler, saloon owner, prostitute, trick shooter and alluring personality of the Old West.Leroy was born in Michigan and by the age of 10 she was dancing professionally. By the time she was fourteen she was performing in dance halls and saloons. She also had developed shooting skills that few could match, including the ability to shoot apples off people's heads. A good-looking young woman, she married for the first time by 15, but the marriage was short-lived as she was promiscuous and difficult to tame. She ventured west seeking a wilder lifestyle, settling for a time in Dallas, Texas. By the age of 20 she'd married a second time and was one of the most popular dancing attractions in town. She soon gave up dancing to work as a faro dealer and became known for dressing in men's clothing, and at times like a gypsie. By this time, Leroy had developed into a skilled gambler. She and her second husband headed to California, where they hoped to open their own saloon. Somewhere along the line, she left him for another man, marrying for a third time. However, this marriage was extremely short-lived. According to an unconfirmed legend, the two became involved in an argument, during which she attacked him. When he refused to hit her because she was a woman, she changed into men's clothing and challenged him again. When she drew her gun, he did not, and she shot him. As he did not die right away, she called for a preacher and the two were married. He died within a few days. Leroy made her way to Deadwood, South Dakota in 1876, traveling up on the same wagon train as Calamity Jane and Wild Bill Hickok. There, she worked as a prostitute in the brothel managed by Mollie Johnson. She opened the Mint Gambling Saloon and married for a fourth time to a German prospector. However, when his money ran out, they began to argue often. She hit him over the head with a bottle one night and threw him out, ending the relationship. Her saloon was successful. In addition to the gambling income, Leroy occasionally worked as a prostitute but mostly managed her own girls. On June 11, 1877, Leroy married for the fifth and final time, this time to prospector and gambler Samuel R. Curley. This marriage, as her others, was volatile. Curley was alleged to have been extremely jealous and Leroy did not help matters, as she had numerous affairs, one of which was with her latest ex-husband. On the night of [The news of Kitty LeRoy's death was reported December 7, 1877 not 1878! Black Hills Daily Time, page 4, Col. 3] December 7, 1878, [The event of Sam Curley and Kitty LeRoy's death was reported in the Dec 7, 1877 newspaper] Curley shot and killed Leroy in the Lone Star Saloon, then turned the gun on himself and committed suicide. The pair were laid in state in front of the saloon the next day, then buried together. She is mentioned in the HBO series Deadwood, portrayed as a beautiful murder victim.In the "Black Hills Daily Times" Deadwood, Monday, Jan 7, 1878, under "City and Vicinity" "The estate of Kitty Curley upon appraisment, amounted to $650. More than one-half of which is c[l]aimed by and allowed to Kitty Donally, and the ezpenses have doubtless consumed the balance. P.H. Earley has been appointed trustee or guardian for the child."and"Extracts of a letter from Major Newson: 'Monte Verde is a woman about 25 years old. **** When she first arrived in the Hills, she was carried on a board, (standing up on it) through the streets of Deadwood, borne on the shoulders of four men,' When, where and how?"".
