Inside the Texas Chicken Ranch: The Definitive Account of the Best Little Whorehouse (Landmarks)

Editorial Reviews

Review

Up to now it’s been very difficult to tell truth from half-truths and outright fiction when it comes to the Chicken Ranch, but that’s been made much easier with the recent publication of [this book]. Waco Today


“Jayme Lynn Blaschke writes [an] action-packed history of the brothel that inspired the Broadway play and film “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas” and the ZZ Top hit “La Grange.””
The New York Post


“Blaschke’s book, to be released on the 43rd anniversary of the closing of the brothel, looks to set the record straight about the famed whorehouse, which was the inspiration of a Broadway musical and film, “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.””
My San Antonio
