Description:

This exciting history has a little of everything. Great stories about the Chinese in Hailey and the close relationship the Friedmans family had with them. Tales of the Red light district, bootlegging, and gambling, gives one a great outlook on what it was like back then. The Friedman family had a general store in Hailey and Lucile worked at the Hiawatha Hotel. Topics of discussion include: the Hailey family; Chinese places along River Street in Hailey; Chinese launderers; growing vegetables in China Gardens area of Hailey; Chineese cooks and wood choppers in Hailey; Dot Allen and the River Street red light district; visitors to the Hiawatha Hotel during Prohibition and the jars of alcohol they brought with them that they called "fruit juice"; some stories of Lucile's family coming to the US; native Americans on the Friedman homestead in the early days; Lucile's father's store in Hailey; memories of T. E. Picotte in Hailey; mention of Dr. Fox.
