Albuquerque's early lawless reputation rivaled that of Dodge City and Tombstone. Its red-light district was known as Hell's Half Acre. Brothel owner Lizzy McGrath once had a local church demolished to build her new bordello. Milt Yarberry, the town's first marshal, was hanged for murder. And the controversial Elfego Baca, who had the gall to face Pancho Villa, survived a thirty-six-hour gunfight unscathed. Author Cody Polston presents the tales of those who slipped through the cracks of morality.
I now live in New Mexico and a History Major. After quickly moving into the city I simply wanted to know more abut Albuquerque's history. I purchase "Wicked Albuquerque" to satisfy part of my history yearnings. I could not put the book down. It's a very fun read. Very clear prose. It actually just seems to take the fun history of Albuquerque and put it in one place. Again a fun read. It was much more entertaining and fun than I thought it would be. I look forward to reading more of Cody Polston.
