Description
Spanning a thirty-year period, from the late 1800s until the 1920s, "Welcome to Hell Paso" is the true story of the desperate men and notorious women that made El Paso, Texas the Old West's most dangerous town. Supported by official court documents, government records, oral histories and period newspaper accounts, this book offers a bird's eye view of the one-time "murder metropolis" of the Southwest.
