A Priest, a Prostitute, and Some Other Early

A Priest, a Prostitute, and Some Other Early Texans looks into the lives of fourteen individuals who traveled the Texas landscape in the 1800s. It shows the shade and the shadow of both men and women, who were caught up in the turmoil, adventures, and events of the time. Mostly unknown, they nevertheless left their stamps on the pages of Lone Star history.
