Here’s my first visit AND my review of The First Emma by Camille di Maio, with photos of San Antonio, Texas, from an earlier blog post. I loved the story of Emma Koehler and admired how she saved the Pearl Brewing Company after the murder of her husband, Otto Koehler! What a woman! I’ve wanted to visit the Hotel Emma in the Pearl District ever since!
