About This Item
The History Press. Near Fine. 2014. Softcover. 1626194459 . Guy Town in Austin was a red-light hub with a most curious legacy. A decadent and deadly area of the city's past. The district rose from the Colorado River up to 5th Street and spanned from Congress Avenue to Shoal Creek. It was a haven for notorious madams, prostitutes, druggies and drunkards lost to history, as well as names still remembered--Ben Thompson, O. Henry and Johnny Ringo roamed its streets looking for a good time. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 160 pages; 31972 .
