THIS STORY:
Carlotta J. Thompkins, a.k.a Lottie Deno, was a famous gambler in Texas and New Mexico during the 1800's. She was renown for legendary poker skills - as well as her courage. She was protected by her intimidating 7 foot tall slave woman Mary Poindexter.
She was born in Kentucky and traveled a great deal among the saloons and casinos, before coming to Texas. In the late 1800s, she was Texas' most famous poker player. Her escapades during this period became part of the folklore of the American Wild West.
THIS CHANNEL:
_________________________________________________________
The Angel face you see is the Haserot, named “The Angel of Death Victorious". The stoic angel is seated on the marble gravestone of canning entrepreneur Francis Haserot and his family. Holding an extinguished torch upside-down, it represents a symbol of life extinguished. Wings are outstretched and the gaze is straight ahead.
IN THE END, DEATH ALWAYS WINS. LEST THE FACES NOT BE FORGOTTEN...
This channel is focused on casually walking and viewing a handful of the thousands of forgotten names and faces at various cemeteries near and afar. Seeing their faces up close. And when able, telling the stories behind their names.
Most graves are unknown and lost to history.
Some are famous.
And some infamous....
....and some with tragic endings.

Another great story!!!!!! Thank you!!!!
A movie should be made from this show. Fascinating.
This is a very intriguing story and it had a happy ending for her and Frank. They retired and had a nice life and well respected. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Ron for this great story!!! The wild west sure was good time to be in for gambling except I think there were many chances people took. The trust had to be there so you didnt end up dead. Imagine meeting Doc Holiday!!! Frank and Lottie did well with their earnings by helping others. Thanks for putting 2 more forgotten faces to the forefront to be remembered another day!!!! Hope you are enjoying your vacation and we do appreciate the time you took to feed our hunger for a story Ron. ❤❤
Returned back to watch your episodes mr. Ron to pass an amazing time with people waiting for the mercy of the compassiont God ..Saad, Baghdad, Iraq
Dang, this would make a great movie. Loved the episode Ron
_Mystic Maude_ would be a great band name, imo, as would _Mystic Maude & Dirty Dave,_ especially for a duo! 🤓🎸
Man so great to hear of the lesser known( these days anyways), western characters. Really liked this story, and how it had ties to other more well known heroes, and outlaws.

I love your comment. This is exactly what I’m trying to do - I’m sick and tired of everybody doing the same old stuff over and over of the usual characters. I’ve got some more good stuff coming up, many of these more unknown characters’ stories are even more intriguing than the ones told over and over.
I love walking through the cemeteries with you Ron. Listening to the history/ story of your subject, to finally end up at their resting place. Thank you for your awesome content.
That was a great story Ron. Thank so much for sharing ❤😊❤!
Tales of the Old West are always interesting - especially the ones that most of us might not even be aware of. Thanks, once more, for letting their story live again, Ron.
Very interesting story Mr Ron ! You are a Joy to behold and a treat to listen to ! May they Rest In Peace 🙌
Good to see you again Ron, great story.
Wow!! Carlotta was such an interesting character!! Her father prepared her well for her future!! Miss Kitty from Gunsmoke was one of my favourite TV characters when I was a kid!! Thanks for telling Carlotta's story, Ron!! XXXX 👏👍❤🤗💞
Great video Ron and good story! Good to see you Ron too....❤ Mary watching from Central Arkansas ❤
Ron, you made a homerun with this one. It impresses me that there were some women who had to takes chances in order to locate their real calling. Even if the chnage they took was due to circumstance beyond their control, especially during the period of time. It demonstrates a woman's resolve and re-invention of herself. Thank you, for bring us Lottie's story. I admire her greatly. Be safe on your travels. Have a great weekend. 🙏🙏🕊🕊
👏👏👏👏 Great history in this story. Sounds like she was a good woman trying to make the best of a man's world back in the day. RIP Lottie I will now always remember your story...🙏🙏🤗❤ thank you Ron my favorite history teacher...😊❤
Good to see you as always, Ron! Loved this little slice of history. Lottie was a great beauty in her youth and certainly was a fascinating individual. I'll bet "Lottie" in "Here Come The Brides" was based on Charlotte, too! Looks like she lived to be 90 years young.
Great story. Glad they survived and lived a good life. Thanks Ron for doing this story ❤
Mistic Maude, Dirty Dave, liking these creative names. This was such an entertaining story. Thank you Ron for sharing this story with your FOTF gang. It is always so much fun listening to you and being one of your posse....601K and counting.

Oh, I really love that story. That was amazing. I’m western all the way I didn’t know even about her. Thank you for sharing that with us. It was amazing. God bless you and your family. Please stay safe. Wait for your next video.
What a great story! It Would have been wonderful to meet these people. I wonder whatever happened to Mary Poindexter? Thank you for the story, Ron, glad to see you pop up on here.
Great to see you Ron and great episode x
This made my day, new episode with Ron! This was a great story, what a fascinating lady ❤
Very, very interesting unknown history! What a life she lived. There could be a movie or book, documentary about her. Thank you for the hard work you guys do bringing us these lost and amazing stories! It brings the past back to life. Thank you guys! -Nina
What a great story with so many twists and turns. She was a tough lady for sure. Didn't seem to be afraid of much. Her dad taught her well. I wonder what she would have done with her life if she had a different dad. I love her love story to. It's like the Romeo and Juliette of the wild west. I would have never guessed that it would end in a reunion with Frank Such a crazy life and suddenly here they were wonderful outstanding citizens. I guess in the end that's all that really matters. I wish we could find Mary's grave too. She was a hero, and it would be great to know more about her life after Charlotte. I loved Miss Kitty. She was my favorite character on Gunsmoke. It's awesome to see the real-life version. Ron, once again you out did yourself with this one. How you find these incredible, intriguing and fascinating stories is beyond me, but I do know that we are the luckiest viewers on YT to get to hear you tell them in the most compelling way. You sure have a knack for storytelling. You are gifted that way! RIP to Frank, Charolette and Mary too ❤💐
No one can tell a story like you do. Good one, Ron 😊
What a lady! Love these old west characters and stories! Thanks Ron!
I watch a lot of the guys that do these graveyard stories, and I like them all, but Ron is a natural, he’s the best

Hi, Ron, so nice to see you! What an incredible life Charlotte/Lotta Dino lived. Thank you for sharing it with us. One of my favorites, for sure. And I love watching Gunsmoke. I'll never see Miss Kitty in the same way again. ❤
I had a PT cruiser painted a grey color called "Gunsmoke ". I ended up calling my car Miss Kitty. I gave the car to one of my grandkids. Great story 🎉
Hi Ron, great to see you
Thank you, Ron, for bringing these long-gone people back to life. When my sister and I were little, our father, a church pastor, "preached a lot of funerals", as they say in the South. We would look at the old timey tombstones and create stories about the deceased ones' lives. I am so happy you are telling us about these people's true lives. Much enjoyed and appreciated!
Good to see you!!! Great video! I was born in Carrollton Ky. Warsaw is only 20 minutes away!!!! I hope you truly know how much we appreciate what you do. For those of us who love history, and cemeteries, you have the best content out there! Enjoy your vacation!!!
Well that was very interesting, especially the connection to Miss Kitty. Many thanks Ron.
A very interesting and lively story. I find it very ''ordinary'' (it's what we say in Quebec for a lack of luster) to see a cement block with a name on it and nothing else. Everyone lives their lives, yes, but this woman has a history and there should be a notation somewhere at the grave site, no? Thank-you FOF for letting us know about this woman with a twist, and ''Mary'' ... Have a great day! 🙂
Really enjoyed your remebrance of Carlotta! She lived to a ripe old age- a well lived life! Would love to know what happened to Mary her protector! Hope her life was equally long and well lived!
Great to see and hear you Ron!! Great story!!
This was an interesting story! Very nice, Ron! She was a beautiful woman! Thank you, Ron! You are very gifted! ❤
I so much miss you and your channel. I'm a big big fan. And I know your on vacation. And getting to this great story. A wonderful walkthrough history. I truly enjoy it.🇺🇸☮️🎩
Never heard of this person that had so much notoriety in the night life of the old West. I'm amazed at how people that acquired a name and reputation crossed paths throughout the old West. Fort Griffin being a magnet for Billy the Kid and supposedly his resting place. Another interesting and informative episode. Nice gesture leaving a yellow Rose. BTW, Doc was from Georgia and a wealthy family so I'm sure they hit it off.
Hi just wanted to say being an Australian we have a Lot less history here. And I'm always interested to hear the stories you share. And you tell them so well. Love this story xx
Enjoy your stories. People I would have never heard of, if you didn't bring them to life. Ty so much for what you do.
Thanks Ronn ..great video. We really enjoyed it.
Fantastic story. Your videos are always a pleasure to watch.
In Texas the old timers used the expression "out like Lottie's eye", referring to Lottie having a gun fired close to her face in a gambling dispute, and losing the vision in one eye to the flash and percussion.

American women in the 19th century could have the kind of adventurous and independent life that their english counterparts back in Victorian times couldn't even imagine.

Yeah on my other channel, you must’ve seen it. Well I stopped flying airplanes now, although I had planned to go there. But it’s not going to happen unfortunately. In my next lifetime!!!
Love this story! Not a bad woman but a powerful woman who knew her mind! Would love to know more about Mary Poindexter too, can't believe she was that tall but there is a genetic disease that will do that to a person but they don't live very long. So this is something different. Thanks for your efforts
When you mentioned her red hair I thought of Miss Kitty on Gunsmoke!!!
Great story! You really captured my attention
Great story with an actual happy ending. She was beautiful!

Thanks for what you do and the true love you show for cemeteries, history, and mankind.
