Dutch Annie's Grave (Boothill) — Queen of Tombstone's Red-Light District

Good forHistory buffs

The headstone reads simply: *Dutch Annie, 1883.* Row 7, Boothill Graveyard, Tombstone. No surname — by local account, no one ever knew her by any other name. She ran the red-light district and, the story goes, grubstaked miners who came to her broke and desperate. By local account, more than a thousand people followed her coffin. Whether that number is exact hardly matters. The town showed up.
