  • Butch Cassidy's Wild Bunch
    The Undisclosed History of the Wild West HELL’S HALF ACRE BY MARY LIQUEUR Hell’s Half Acre was an area of Fort Worth, Texas designated as the red-light district “where the West begins.” In the early to mid-1870s in the Old Wild West it was known for being a very brutish, lawless, town. Filled with gamblers, prostitutes, and train robbers – it wasn’t a place “normal” people had many dealings in. It was nicknamed the “Bloody Third ward” because of the violence in the area. And over time, Hell’s Half Acre developed a reputation for bringing out the rebel in everyone that passed through the area. FORT WORTH, TEXAS IN 1876 Fort Worth Texas’ legendary Hell’s Half Acre was an accumulation of bordellos, saloons, and gambling parlors during the 1870s. The most infamous red-light district of the old “Wild West” was frequented by outlaws like “Longhair Jim” Courtright, Luke Short, Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, and Sam Bass. It also saw the likes of Butch Cassidy and his Wild Bunch. The area was developed originally to serve as a rest stop on the cattle trails from Texas through Kansas. Saloons, brothels, and gambling, liquor, and prostitution establishments overtook the area. HELL’S LOCATION Located between the tenth street to the fifteenth street boundaries – Hell’s Half Acre consisted of boarding houses, bordellos, gambling houses, hotels, saloons, and a couple other businesses. It was also a sort of “safe zone” for thieves and violent offenders. The twenty-two thousand square foot area saw the likes of Old Western characters like Bat Masterson, Butch Cassidy, the Sundance Kid, Doc Holliday, Etta Place, Luke Short, Sam Bass, Laura Bullion, and Wyatt Earp.
