TEXAS BAD GIRLS:HUSSIES HARLOT: Hussie, Harlots, and Horse Thieves - Softcover

Sometimes humorous, sometimes tongue-in-cheek, sometimes deeply sad and moving such are the biographies of fifteen Texas bad girls. Husband killers, run-of-the-mill murderers, whorehouse madams, prostitutes, gamblers, bank robbers, floozies each contributes immeasurably to a rowdy, ribald history that dates from the state's earliest settlers to yesterday's biggest news story.
These bad girls of Texas prance across the pages of this book in a seamless parade of behavior so far outside the realm of common convention that their places in history were virtually guaranteed even while they lived. Their lifestyles assured the harshest of societal criticism and condemnation then and now, but our relentless curiosity won't let them rest.
Jimmy Lee Butts writes these stories to sound as though a friend just sat down and decided to tell you an interesting tale about someone he once knew. His wicked sense of humor comes through on every page. Jimmy lives in Irving, Texas, with his wife, Sally.

J. Lee Butts' first novel debuted in November 2001 and has since been followed by numerous works. Magazine and short works include features for True West, New American Review and Western Writers of America's Roundup Magazine. Nonfiction works are Texas Bad Girls and Texas Bad Boys.
