Hattersville

A small but growing (fictional) town in southeast Arizona, about 65 miles from the Mexican border. A steam-powered train is the only way of getting into or out of this isolated town, unless you want to risk traveling 40 miles, through arid desert terrain, to the nearest city. With a slightly rising crime rate encouraged by the recent discovery of gold in a nearby creek, this town has grown from a population of 200 to over 2,300 in a matter of 5 years.

Population: 2,379.

Sheriff: None - the last sheriff was shot about 6 times on Main Street, striking enough fear into the townspeople to stop them from trying to elect a new one.

Amenities: Bank, corral, 'The Grand' Hotel (hot baths sold!), brothel, farrier - plus a large horse/cattle ranch on the outskirts of town that sells all types of horses; cattle, and mustangs - firearms store, mexican imports shack, morgue, three saloons; The Oleander, The Tumbleweed and The Orient, the last of the three being the most high-class.

Resources: Horses, cattle, imported firearms, gold, hot baths, and women.
