[post_page_title]Eleanor Dumont[/post_page_title]
Whatever else you may hear, Eleanor Dumont was first and foremost a businesswoman. Appearing in Nevada City, California, in 1854, not much was known about the woman whose real name likely was Simone Jules. Speaking with a French accent, which locals loved, she opened a casino and was an overnight success. It was so successful, in fact, that she opened another one. Eventually settling down, Dumont was swindled by her conman husband, and so she went back to gambling, with stories of several (in)famous deeds remaining unconfirmed. She took her own life in 1879, likely due to gambling debts.
