Research, research. I think it’s the reason I write historical novels. Here are some places that are mentioned in the novel set in San Antonio, Texas, 1901.
Menger Hotel (lots happens here)
County courthouse
Brackenridge Park
Otto Koehler’s house
Southwestern Insane Asylum
Buckhorn’s Saloon
Alderman Richter’s Bakery
San Pedro Park
Meta’s homestead
And, believe it or not, the original location of Fannie Porter’s bordello at the corner of Durango and San Saba. (a bit different now!)

Some of these places are familiar to me – my parents and I lived there in the mid-late 1960s. The Menger Hotel was THE place to be and I fondly remember Brackenridge.

My mom and dad met and married in San Antonio. Whenever they took trips to SA, they always stayed at The Menger. Lots of history in that hotel!
