leia_lynn's review against another edition
5.0
I reserve five-star ratings for books that really touched me in some way. This one did. It was well-researched, captivatingly written, and accompanied by helpful and arresting photographs. While giving a comprehensive history of the Chicken Ranch accompanied by a myriad of sources, the author also made it seem like an old friend. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in Texas history, oral history, or the spectacle that was the Chicken Ranch.
