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!)
