Description
A transcript prepared in the 1930s by an unknown member of the Works Progress Administration's Federal Writers' Project. The transcript is of an interview with William "Billy" Blevins, who opened a saloon in Fort Worth in 1892. Blevins describes cowman's dances, including the lyrics to a song that would accompany the music at dances. He also describes men shooting glasses and billiard balls in his bar, and shooting with the men outside to prove that he was "one of them."
