True Tales of Prescott - Paperback

by Bradley G. Courtney (Author), Drew Desmond (Author)

A saloon town like no other.

Carved out of the wilderness to become the first capital of Arizona Territory, Prescott has been a magnet for colorful characters since 1864. From Isaac Goldberg, proprietor of the first saloon, to musical icon Bruce Springsteen, Prescott has hosted its fair share of legends. Highwayman Brazen Bill Brazelton moseyed through the streets of Prescott, as did Bucky O'Neill and Barry Goldwater. Famous landmarks like the Palace Saloon not only survived prohibition but the Great Fire of 1900 that burned through Whiskey Row.

Join historians Bradley G. Courtney and Drew Desmond as they round up tales of Prescott's fascinating past.
