I became interested in Soiled Doves: Prostitution in the Early West by Anne 
Seagraves after I read this review at Kittling: Books. The book was published in 1994, and I haven’t been able to find it to buy at any of my usual haunts; I’ll be looking at the library for this one!
Illustrated with rare photos, this strong book provides a touching insight into the lives of the ladies of the night.
This speaks directly to my interests – I was a history major (social history, not military history), and this sounds like a fascinating case study of a sector that doesn’t get much exposure (sorry, no pun intended!)
What books grabbed your attention this week?
Didn’t Cathy write a great review? I put this book on my wish list, too.
This sounds like a fascinating book! I live in an old mining town about where gold was discovered in California.
Here are my finds.
Good luck finding this one Dawn. I kind of like the challenge of finding books that require a little effort to track down!
Wow that does sound interesting. I even added it to my TBR list.
I could always mail my copy to one of you who could pass it on to the next….
Beth – and Cathy has made a very generous offer in her comment, but my TBR stack is so big I don’t dare add a borrowed book to it … too much pressure!
cali – it would be neat to look at your local history in tandem with this book.
Shana – I agree! We get too much instant gratification these days!
Callista – Cathy really started a trend with *Soiled Doves*
Cathy – thank you so much for the offer! If anyone takes you up on it, I’d love to be added (in the last slot) to the distribution list
