このコンテンツについて
Imagine a valley so pristine it is the envy of all places near it. Complete with soft rolling hills, clear-water brooks, thermal springs, lakes for water sports, and crystal mines for discovering quartz, plus the only diamond mine in America. It was so attractive. The first on the scene were native Indians followed by explorers, and by 1832, Hot Springs became the first US National Park. Of course, something this special was instantly noticed. And then along came the settlers, proprietors, and anyone interested in turning a dollar.
Soon to appear were hotels, restaurants, homes/residents, and all the things to support them. With natural crops and clean water, the moonshine industry flourished, and with that, along came thoroughbred racing, bars and casinos, brothels, plus all things to entertain the adult population.
Once the cartels of New York and Chicago saw the money flowing, Hot Springs went into full stride. This, well in advance of anything like it, started the competition for the almighty gaming dollar and all things associated with it.
This book is based on true accounts. It is not fiction or fantasy. If you would like to know more, watch for the sequel.
