Who knew her?
Eleanor didn't have a lot of friends because of her constant traveling. But she did have one friend that lasted long term and her name was Jane. She was about the same age as Eleanor and they were like best friends.Eleanor stayed in Nevada City for quite a while with all the gold going around and being found. This was the top place to start a business or get rich. With all the gold coming in so did the people. She joined up with a guy named Pave Tobin to open a new casino in town. This was the first casino in California ever and it was a huge hit! Another person she knew was Jack McKnight. He was a tall handsome man that said that he loved Eleanor, so he claimed. Year later he takes all her fortune and leaves her. But sooner or later she got her revenge and killed him with a gunshot.

Success!
Ms.Dumont was a very smart woman, she knew what she wanted and how to get it. Whether money or more business she knew the best way to get it done. She used the society to draw in customers and money. She dared men to challenge her in a game and the men foolishly accepted and later to find out she was more than just a pretty girl. She owned the first ever casino in the U.S to have a casino that serves free champagne to those who are wiling to play a game with her. But with the loser they got a free glass of milk instead of champagne. In total she owned 3 casinos that were her best running businesses in California. After she died she inspired other women to have fun outside of the house and come into casinos and join in on the game of gambling. They nominated her for the Hall of Fame after she died to honor her in everything that she has done.
Failures
Although Eleanor has accomplished so much in her years she has come to some obstacles on her way. For example when the gold ran out in Nevada City she had to move because business had ran out. She lost her customers and her money. Another failure was when she got robbed by her ex-husband Mr.McKnight. That was huge for Eleanor because all her fortune that she worked for was all gone within a blink of an eye. She had to start all over with her earnings. Eleanor did not make the best choices when it came t men. She killed her husband and another man in a gun fight outside of a saloon. Back then it was easier to get away with murder and that's just what she did. After her breakup with Jack McKnight things started going down hill. She started drinking and put on some pounds. It got to the point where she had to change her name to every town she went to so that no one could recognize her. She owed money and started to lose a lot more games than usual. She took a huge loan thinking she could handle it but she couldn't and lost all the money.
Madame Mustache
Madame Mustache is a name Eleanor developed after her good days. When she gained a few pounds and grew out a thick mustache and never shaved it. So the miners thought it would be funny to make up a name for her mustache. They ended coming up with madame mustache. She never stopped the name calling so it just stuck to her all this time.
