Maria Gertrudis Barceló
Maria Gertrudis "Tules" Barceló (circa 1800 – January 17, 1852), commonly known as "La Tules," was a saloon owner and master gambler in the Territory of New Mexico at the time of the U.S.-Mexican War. Barceló amassed a small fortune by capitalizing on the flow of American and Mexican traders involved with the nineteenth-century Santa Fe Trail. She became infamous in the U.S. as the Mexican "Queen of Sin" through a series of American travel writings and newspaper serials before, during, and after the war. These depictions, often intended to explain or justify the U.S. invasion of Mexico, presented La Tules as a madame and prostitute who symbolized the supposedly immoral nature of the local Mexican population.
==Early life==
Barceló may have been born in the state of Sonora, Mexico around 1800 but one correspondent of the time, Wilkins Kendall of the ''New Orleans Picayune'', argued in his book ''Narrative of the Texas—Santa Fe Expedition'' that she was French, referring to her as Madame Toulouse.〔 Not much is known about her early life or her family. Shortly after Mexico won its independence from Spain in 1821, Barceló, her parents, a brother, and two sisters moved to the remote northern territory of New Mexico.
On June 23, 1823 Barceló married Manuek Sisneros at the Church of Tome. The priest who performed the ceremony referred to her as "Doña," a title given to women of quality and high social standing. Much attention would later be given to the fact that she was four years older than her groom and four or five months pregnant at the time. The couple had two sons, both of whom died as infants.〔Alter, Judy. ''Extraordinary Women of the American West''. Children's Press, 1999, p. 18-20 ISBN 0-516-20974-4〕 Fiercely independent, Barceló retained all of her own property throughout her marriage and was known by her maiden name.
