The era of a modern city, Waco around 1894 when it was a bustling cotton and railroad town with four colleges and thirty-five churches, but it was also known as Six Shooter Junction and at the same time the town had another side to it the part of town known as the Reservation a place where many brothels flourish in a legalized red-light district unique as only one of two such legal sites in the country.
