	Langtry, Texas.
		Langtry was probably named after a civil engineer working for the railroad, but the story that people would rather believe is that Roy Bean had a schoolboy crush on Miss Lillie Langtry and named it in her honor.
		The land immediately south of 90 at the eastern entrance to town was formerly a tourist camp and the variety of cacti specimens scattered on the rocky slopes of the canyon is amazing.
		I'm guessing people living in nearby Langtry, a small town with a LOT of history, notably the "Jersey Lilly" saloon and more in the fantastic tourist information center, would likely be attendees.

		History: For most of the last two decades of the nineteenth century Roy Bean was the only judge operating across several hundred miles of south Texas, a position he was appointed to after several months earning a living selling beer and whisky to workers building the trans Texas railroad between San Antonio and El Paso.
		His reputation for colourful behaviour grew on account of his rough, arbitrary justice methods and particularly after the staging of a heavyweight boxing championship on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande in 1898, at which time fighting was illegal in many US states including Texas.
		Both village and saloon (the original 'Jersey Lilly') were supposedly named in tribute to the English actress Lillie Langtry with whom the judge was infatuated.
