UNCLE BOB & The Road to the Devil Saloon Patrick D Patterson

Uncle Bob, Robert E. Lee Leavitt, was a true pioneer of the Wild West. This is his story, and that of his family, friends and fellow pioneers.

The story tells of Uncle Bob's forbearer's as they ventured from Germany and Ireland to America's shores, and traveled to what is now the city of Victoria, in southeast Texas.

From there, Uncle Bob leads a historic cattle drive to Montana, participated in crucial battles with the Comanche Indians, ultimately settling in a small Montana town where he ends up staying to run a red-light saloon.

Uncle Bobs story is told by himself, as well as by those who knew him best.

Uncle Bob, a man who knew triumph and defeat, jubilation and sorrow, displays the American Experience with all of its true grit, as well as its uncanny humor.
