1885 Fort Worth - Hell's Half Acre

HIST220

$39.95

Our highly detailed map of old Ft. Worth and the notorious Hell's Half Acre district is filled with detail about the history starting with the early cattle drives around 1866 to 1885 and then with much additional information about the later days. Hell's Half Acre and Fort Worth were on the "Sin Circuit" and fancy women, gamblers and gunmen like Bat Masterson, James and Wyatt Earp and later Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid with their Hole-In-the-Wall Gang were frequent visitors. Less well known but equally active was the "Uptown" area south of the Tarrant County courthouse that also was filled with saloons and pleasure palaces but catered to a sometimes less rowdy clientele. Many famous and notorious places are shown: The White Elephant Saloon near which dapper gambler Luke Short and ex-Marshal Jim Courtright shot it out. The track of the herds as they entered Fort Worth from the south and made their way north to the Cold springs area on the Trinity River to bed down on their way north to the Red River and the Chisholm Trail in Indian Territory. Historical Note: In spite of some popular misinformation, Hell's Half Acre was NOT in the North Fort Worth Stockyard district. The Fort Worth Stockyards did not begin to operate until about 1900. Instead, the Acre was at the southern end of the Fort Worth business district bounded on the south by the Texas & Pacific Railroad reservation in later years. Also, Fort Worth was a sizeable city for its time with a population of over 22,000 compared to the few hundreds or few thousands in many of the forts, camps and railhead's of the period.
