Books read in 2021: No. 2 -- Soiled Doves: Prostitution in The Early West


Started: Jan. 5
Finished: Jan. 10

Notes: Yep, it's another book I picked up in Tombstone a few years ago.

Mini review: While the subject matter here was interesting enough, I found the execution less than desirable. Most of this is a collection of snippets and information from other books about the lives of famous madams and prostitutes in the Old West, with only some vagueness about the overall picture of prostitution during the time period. The writing was fair, but the book itself should have had a stronger structure instead of jumping around so much in the timeline.
