Selcer has produced an historical account of Fort Worth's early years, and the relationship of vice to its growth. I found the book difficult to put down until I had read each sordid detail.

You want the truth about the good old days, back when times were simpler? Selcer will give it to you, in spades, enjoy them, and reflect on the lives of our great grandparents.

Without a doubt, the best book on the old west history of Ft. Worth, naming names, and places where the action was. Selcer covers it all, from the smallest saloons and big outfits, to the big name gamblers and shady ladies, to the reformers. Locations, descriptions...get ready for a trip in time, you won't be able to put it down. Yeeeeee -Haaawwwww! Lovin it!!

It could be your hometown too, if you grew up in the west. A good history,(well-researched)that pulls no punches about the unsavory characters and rough life of the old west.

Received item quickly and in condition as stated. Author autographed my book at a meeting in Ft Worth, has photos and articles about relatives. Very interesting.
