Bucktown Saga

It was a bawdy era at the turn of the century in Bucktown, Davenport Iowa....setting the tone for the rest of the nation. Riverboats...Gamblers...Entertainers...and the 'Ladies'

About Me

Name:

I'm just one of those 'thinkers' with a creative soul. A bit of a romantic that has connected with other creative souls....some past...some present. I love a good discussion prompted by personal theory...in other words...talk to me. Not a very public social type...good books and bad weather make my day.
