Lunchtime Lectures: Deadly Dallas Streets - Unfortunate Incidents, Deplorable Mayhem, and Grisly Fatalities
at the Turn of the Twentieth Century
Traveling the streets of turn-of-the-century Dallas could be as perilous and lethal as a blindfolded rush hour trip up the length of Central Expressway today. Or worse! Using hilarious true stories of early traffic mayhem, writer-historian Rusty Williams describes a time of no traffic laws and few rules of the road; a time when drivers and passengers alike were in constant peril from runaway livestock, twenty-ton streetcars, speeding locomotives, juking roadsters, and other unexpected road hazards!
