3 Chapter 3

The old-timers say an old cowpoke once had a shack there where he made whiskey in a still and sold it to the local saloon. Since then it was always referred to as Whiskey Hill. Later, after the old man died and the town began to grow, the name of Whiskey Hill stuck. It wasn’t long after that that a man by the name of Reno Garvey bought the shack, tore it down, and built a lively structure called the Pink Palace.He knew it was the ideal spot because it was far enough away from town to make the wives happy, but near enough to make the men happy. His ladies were painted-up, high-class whores who, for the right price, were not above doing anything the men wanted. Not able to deny his Boston blue blood heritage, Reno couldn’t abide being the owner of a whorehouse, so he constructed a big sign that read Cowboy’s Social Club and hung it on the front of the building.
