The latest offering in the "Neighborhood of Hell" series is BAWDS AND BARS OF EARLY OKLAHOMA (available on Amazon in print and Kindle formats).

The latest work is a compilation of the names of saloons, proprietors, madams, and "working girls" found in newspapers, through some interviews, and other sources. 

Starting with the Land Run of 1889 through the early 1920's the ups and downs of the battle to keep the state dry and moral are shared in chronology and narrative. Also, included are what is known about several notorious women of the times. An added plus is a listing of names related to emerging group of law enforcement women known as "Police Matrons."

Some saloons, women, and law officers are unidentified - one reason or another - they were intentionally not used or mentioned in print or court records.  Many assumed names - but here are the names found or shared. 


Other titles in the series are: Tales of Hell's Half Acre, Oklahoma Bad Girls, Bawds and Bars of Early Oklahoma.
