From its beginnings as a railroad siding in 1887, Havre, Montana was a tough, wide-open town with plenty of saloons, gambling halls, opium dens, brothels, and cheap cribs. With the passage of Prohibition, it was a natural hub for smuggling illegal alcohol across the nearby Canadian border. Honky-Tonk Town tells the story of this wild and woolly frontier town.
Honky-Tonk Town: Havre, Montana's Lawless Era Reviews
-
This brief little book focusing on the history of vice in a small town in Montana is quite good. The information appears solid and the story follows logically. I think the author tried to make a small group of bootlegers into a major criminal conspiracy; but that is a pardonable sin. The brevity of the book gives excellent insight into the lives of average 1920s bootleggers.
