The History And Mystery Of The Menger Hotel

By Docia Schultz Williams · 2000

Williams wrote for readers who want atmosphere as well as dates: the Menger’s place in San Antonio’s hospitality story, famous guests, architecture, and the “mystery” side—reported hauntings and anecdotes. Treat sensational passages as prompts to verify against primary sources, but the book still helps orient you to a landmark that sat in the middle of the same downtown world as many local businesses.
