Publication: Chickadee Publishing Co, 2007, Spokane

First edition. Signed by the author. Quarto. Pictorial wrappers, 98 pp., acknowledgements, introduction, illustrated. This book traces prostitution in Great Falls through the newspapers from 1889 through 1918. Activity in the red light section was probably greater than at any other time in the history of the town. The sportin' women were working the streets, saloons, cribs, hotels, boarding houses and brothels of the city. This book is the first known publication to focus on prostitution in Great Falls and the surrounding area. The women who engaged in the world's oldest profession were often colorful and their stories should be told. As new in spiral wrappers.
