| Publisher Description: The Wicked West takes readers on a sinful journey back to frontier days. Gallop your horse right into a saloon. (That often really happened ) Learn how our forefathers-and foremothers-enjoyed life's wild little pastimes, such as drinking, smoking, gambling, and of course, prostitution. Your guide for this riotous trip through saloons and bordellos all across the Old West is popular historian Sherry Monahan. She shows you how to mix a mean whiskey cocktail and gives the rules for the high-rolling game of faro. Best of all, she introduces you to a crowd of rough, tough, real-life men and women who tell their unforgettable stories in their own salty words. |
