Willie Martello & The El Rey in The NEVADAN

Thought you'd enjoy this very cool article "Big Hearted City On A Bald Headed Mountain", by Ray Chesson. It appeared in the Feb. 16, 1964 edition of The NEVADAN and features a lot of great discussion about Willie Martello, the El Rey Club, and Searchlight. Really more of a puff piece than a factual accounting of what when on there, but it is well-written in a classic style of so many writers of the old west.

Read all about it at my blog. Click the image of the story for a larger view.

All El Rey Club tales (so far) can be found there as well.

Always looking for more El Rey Club items and memorabilia. Complete wish list at the blog as well, as well as photos of what I've unearthed so far.
