Explore Fort Worth's legendary and controversial district, a thriving and tenacious assortment of bordellos, saloons, and gaming parlors, serving up the delights of cowboys, railroaders, gamblers, thieves, and ordinary citizens-- and generally outraging the religiously fervent and the reform minded. The stories and characters of the Acre are memorable, entertaining, illuminating and sometimes tragic-- and still relevant, still part of our public life. The profits, struggles and compromises of the Acre shaped the character of Fort Worth, and it is therefore fitting that the Texas A&M School of Law should be situated in this historic district where human nature and emerging institutions--of society and of the law--met each other in high tension. Featuring historian Brendan Smart.
