Soiled Doves: Prostitution in the Early West (Women of the West)

Helpful Score: 2


This was a nicely documented history of prostitution in The Old West.

It covers the humorous as well as sadness and moves quickly from one colorful personage to the next. I enjoyed the light touch approach of writer Anne Seagraves. She doesn't bog down the reader in drama and total negativity.

The numerous photos are a real plus.
