Annotation For more than four decades, Louise Sneed Hill ruled over Denver's high society with her southern charm, societal tact, and passion for success. Hill created a society group dubbed the "Sacred Thirty-Six" and held parties that encouraged animal dances, roller skating, and alcohol consumption. She used the press to sell her image, emphasize amusement, and aid in her mission to transform society from Victorian morality to unabashed fun. She pushed boundaries at a time when American society was unsure of its social direction. Historian Shelby Carr delves into the complex story of the highly mythicized, misrepresented, and misunderstood Mrs. Crawford Hill. 2020.
