One of the most mysterious of the petticoat dealers that roamed the Old West was the voluptuous Lottie Deno.
She was a dazzling beauty, wore the finest clothes, and conducted herself as a refined Southern belle. Yet, she told no one her real name; “Lottie Deno” was a nickname given to her by other gamblers. She raked in big winnings night after nights—she traveled with a leather-bound trunk that was stuffed with cash.
Using all of her feminine wiles, she orchestrated the killing of an ex- paramour, she stood toe to toe in a fight with “Big Nose” Kate over Doc Holliday, and she coolly counted her winnings at a table where two of the players blazed away with pistols—killing both men.
This then, is her incredibly true story, Lottie Deno – Mysterious Hell Cat of the West.
