OUR LADIES OF THE TENDERLOIN is a unique look at life in the oldest profession in
early day Colorado. Linda Wommack tells the story of the women who made the night
life come alive and brought excitement to the new frontier.
Wommack puts the women of the "hog ranches" of the eastern plains and the houses
of the Rocky Mountain mining camps into their rightful place in history - as pioneers. The
author brings Colorado's soiled doves to life through in-depth research and
never-before-published photographs.
History and folklore are wrestled apart so readers can focus on the prostitute as a
member of frontier society, rather than a mere footnote in accounts of the wild west.
This volume came from the collection of a discrete owner.
The book has been gently read, and the pages are clean and bright
with gentle light wear to it's cover.
