Have you ever wondered what
Have you ever wondered what it was REALLY like in an historic border town in the 19th century? What were Cowboys and Pioneers really doing on the edge of the Wild West? And we all want to know that it was REALLY like to be a "fallen dove" in a Brothel or Bordello. We all have images burned in our brains from the Westerns we watched; smokey rooms filled with scantily clad ladies in feathers, corsets and high button boots sitting on the laps of hard drinking and rough talking men who were just itching for a fight. But how close to the truth was that? In the town called "Hell on the Border" it wasn't the truth at all.
Welcome to Miss Lauras Gaming House, one of the most highly regarded brothels of the day. Located in Fort Smiths Red Light District Laura, Pearl Starr (daughter of the infamous Belle Starr) and many other mavens of these dens of pleasure competed for the hard earned dollars of the Wild Wests respectable business men and unscrupulous characters. These Madams had high standards for both their clientele and their employees, and at the high prices they charged ($3.00 for an evenings "entertainment") they were able to afford the best.
Fort Smith might be notorious for the presence of the lawless, but the law had a firm hold there as well. It was the home seat of Issac Parker, famously known as the "Hanging Judge". His firm hand on the law kept this rough town from turning into complete chaos, and kept the gate to Westward Expansion open.
And how many of you watched the story of the Lone Ranger on Saturday mornings? Did you know that the character was based on a real life Wild West law man and hero? Former enslaved man Bass Reeves was the first black deputy US Marshal west of the Mississippi river and helped keep the peace in the border town and in Indian Territory.
Take a look inside one of the last standing authentic Wild West Brothels, meet the Hanging Judge and learn the story behind the man that inspired the Lone Ranger legend. Sometimes truth really is stranger than fiction!
