Elizabeth “Lizzie” Applegate
According to legend, the infamous masked bandit, El Diablo, fell madly in love with Lizzie Applegate during her years as an entertainer at gold mining camps. At the end of Lizzie’s performances, El Diablo would ride his jet-black steed up to the stage and leave a bouquet of gardenias. It was rumored that Lizzie joined El Diablo’s band of thieves and was present at the Christmas Gold Robbery of 1878.

Diego “El Diablo” Valdez
I’ve heard of a Diego Valdez. He was a wealthy rancher who lived in the 1800s. I just read a book about him for my history class. …  He was sort of a hermit and never married, but he was extremely generous. He gave away thousands of dollars.

Wing Tang
I came back to San Francisco in 1871 and worked as a chef for Miss Applegate for years at the Hotel Chinois and then at the Golden Gardenia, which we called “Gum Bo Fu”.
