Abilene’s War with Whiskey & 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, Texas, 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 goes on sale at Texas Star Trading Company on Tuesday, October 29 ($19.95 paperback). Jay will be here to sign books from 4-6 p.m. that afternoon.

Pre-orders will be shipped on Wednesday, Oct. 30. If you pre-order and would like a book personalized, please indicate that information in the “special instructions” box on the shipping screen when placing your order.
