The most notorious of these was the unruly city of Borger, Texas. Based on memoirs and trial transcripts, Boomtown follows land promoter Ace Borger, who capitalized on oil strikes in the Texas Panhandle. With the notorious Two-Gun Dick Herwig installed as sheriff, the town is soon overrun with wild dancehalls, bootleg liquor joints, and gambling halls. In the 1920s, wildcat oil strikes, overnight wealth and Prohibition gave rise to lawless new towns. FRIDAY MARCH 31, 2023 7PM
