Abilene’s War With Whiskey and Other Hometown Commotions

By Jay Moore

From Abilene’s earliest days, city residents wrestled with the question of whether to allow alcohol – booze – in the city limits. Abilene was quite “wet” in its first years. Then quite “dry” for several decades. Then openly “dry” but privately “wet.” And then came Impact. And two bitterly contested elections.

Abilene historian Jay Moore explores this and fifteen other colorful hometown commotions in this new collection which is now available at Texas Star Trading Company.
