The charming adobe walls of Old Town hide a dark past rife with vice and violence.

These same streets were once home to the city’s first red-light district, where prostitution thrived behind closed doors, and hosted public hangings that drew morbid crowds. Rumors of riches hidden beneath the dusty streets lured treasure-seekers, and opium dens flourished. Confederate cannons from the Civil War were found beneath a chile patch in the late 1800s, but the unmarked graves of Confederate soldiers who died during the short-lived occupation remain a mystery.

Author Cody Polston reveals the fascinating and disturbing history of Albuquerque.
