Exploring the Wild, Wild West - Hell on the Border
from Wayward Stories Hosted by Justin Minor
In tonight’s show we pick back up on a little “series within a series” I started a couple of years ago entitled “Exploring the Wild, Wild West.” We previously explored Coffeyville and Dodge City, KS as well as the Santa Fe Trail. In tonight’s episode, we’re going to explore one of the very earliest Wild West towns in America…Fort Smith, Arkansas, home to “Hell on the Border” - one of the nastiest jails ever to house a baddie. We also happen to be the only place I’ve ever heard of that someone brought a cannon to a fist fight…so if you enjoy a road trip to a place with a long and colorful history, a weekend adventure to Fort Smith might be right up your alley! Luckily for me, this is an easy episode…as I am currently a park ranger at Fort Smith National Historic Site…and tonight’s episode is sort of just another day at work! I hope you’ll join me tonight to hear all about it! If you’d like to get in touch with me, just shoot an email to [email protected] -or- Head on over to www.waywardstories.com
