Thirty-five classic stories fill this book about San Antonio’s seamier side, from the days of the Old West when Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson came by, Rowdy Joe Lowe ran a saloon on Main Plaza and Butch Cassidy got away from Madame Fanny Porter’s in time to escape the fate of fellow train robber Deaf Charley, who found himself at the business end of a lawman’s six-shooter. A map of the 22-block red-light district west of San Pedro Creek shows more than 100 houses of ill repute, inhabitants listed.

Recensioner i media

“This little book is a gem for those drawn to reading about the fast life of the frontier, and it has a remarkable bibliography with many primary sources.”— Journal of South Texas“David Bowser sees dead people. With an ability eerily reminiscent of the movie The Sixth Sense, he also sees long-gone prostitutes, lawmen, desperadoes, bawdyhouses, saloons, and gambling halls. This book is one of the few in print that brings the gritty side of San Antonio’s frontier past into focus. . . . You’d have to be barely breathing not to be intrigued by West of the Creek.”— San Antonio Express-News
