In 2014 I wrote about warring Gypsy factions that had gathered in Dallas in 1951, embroiled in a bitter feud centered around a seriously injured boy at Baylor Hospital. Dallas police were worried there would be bloodshed in the streets. I really loved writing this post: “‘Every Gypsy in the Nation Knows About This’ — 1951.”
