Throwing a few drinks back at the bar is a timeless tale of
humanity. In the American Old West, this tale played out in
ramshackle huts and stylish establishments alike in some of the
most unforgiving terrain imaginable. While the legendary Crystal
Palace in Tombstone, Arizona, had little in common with the tent
cities that sprang up in Leadville, Colorado, and Silver City, New
Mexico, one common feature was the bars--constructed of planks of
mahogany, cherrywood, or rosewood. These bars were often hauled
across hundreds of miles of rugged terrain to arrive in various
cities, where they would support the elbows, chins, and drinks of
those who sought to quench their thirst. From the Grand Hotel in
Bisbee to Rosa's Cantina in El Paso, Myke and Melody Groves tell
the story of the front and back bars of twenty-five establishments
in Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado through a combination
of historic background and photographs. This lively travelogue,
complete with driving directions, will inspire visitors to the
West's old mining camps, railroad towns, and ranching centers to
stop in and belly up to the bar.
