Episode 374: Hoes of History: Pearl de Vere
Wednesday, 1 April, 2026
Pearl de Vere was more than the most famous madam in Cripple Creek, Colorado—she was a woman who built power, mystery, and independence in a world that offered women very little of it. We step into the glittering, gritty world of the late 1800s American West to uncover the life of Pearl de Vere, the enigmatic owner of the luxurious Old Homestead House. Known for her beauty, intelligence, and strict rules, Pearl ran one of the most refined brothels in the region—where wealthy miners and elite visitors paid top dollar not just for companionship, but for an experience wrapped in elegance and secrecy. But Pearl's story is more than velvet curtains and whispered deals. It's a story of reinvention. Of a woman who may have fled a troubled past—possibly leaving behind a husband and child—to create a new identity on her own terms. At a time when women were expected to be silent and subservient, Pearl carved out authority, wealth, and influence in one of the most unlikely places.
