Why do small towns often hold the most intriguing histories? What if secrets of famous figures from the past are just waiting to be uncovered in places many people overlook? Join me, Bob Bales, on a journey to an unsuspecting place that's been home to supermodels, outlaws, and even the King of Rock and Roll himself. That's right, we're heading to the heart of Texas, to a small town, packed with stories and historic events that will make you see small towns in a different light.
In this episode, we explore the extraordinary tales of this town, from its role in a Revolution to its ties with figures like Elvis Presley and Bonnie and Clyde. Discover how this town of just 7,000 fired the first shot in a revolution, hosted celebrities and learn about one of the deadliest Old West outlaws, John Wesley Hardin, and his epic escape from the city jail. We'll also visit a Hotel, where Elvis and Bonnie and Clyde once stayed. So, buckle up for this thrilling journey and allow the Traveling Fool to guide you on your next history-packed adventure!
