About This Item
-Wesanne (1994)-. First edition first impression 1994. 175 pages. Illustrated. Paperback. Spine uncreased. Very good indeed. Soiled Doves tells the story of the grey world of prostitution and the women who participated in the oldest profession. Colorful, if not socially acceptable, these ladies of easy virtue were a definite part of the early West--wearing ruffled petticoats with fancy bows, they were glamorous and plain, good and ad and many were as wild as the land they came to tame. Women like "Molly b'Dam," Mattie Silks, and "Chicago Joe" blended into the fabric of the American Frontier with an easy familiarity. Others, such as "Sorrel Mike," escaped through suicide, Lottie John chose marriage and the Chinese slave girls lived a life without hope. Soiled Doves: Prostitution in the Early West 096190884x
