They were just as big a part of the west as the hills, valleys and mountains or the cowboys, miners, lawmen,and outlaws. <br /><br />Good info.Paty Jagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03257614436422105729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-35296391890741726622010-11-19T09:21:45.429-06:002010-11-19T09:21:45.429-06:00Hi Marin,

I'm sure these madams were a combination of needing to make a living this way and liking the way they made their living. I saw an interesting thing on the History Channel about the prostitutes in Hawaii around the time of the Pearl Harbor attack. Apparently no one holds back a determined lady of any stamp. Interesting post.<br /><br />JaneJane Leopold Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11828444485707533565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-40523800497234687212010-11-17T15:28:10.595-06:002010-11-17T15:28:10.595-06:00While not condoning the profession, many women had...While not condoning the profession, many women had not choice but to become a prostitute or starve.

In most cases I imagine it was in order to survive without any other choices. I've read that during the Civil War in some cases women took in men in order to put food on the table and pay other bills. Some of the women became good business women and made a success for themselves. But it must have been a hard lonely life. They had to be very strong women, I think.Jeanmarie Hamiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08974232341270295299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-54542975752027417212010-11-16T16:21:32.532-06:002010-11-16T16:21:32.532-06:00MARIN--you have to admire these women in a way.

Interesting stories about each of these. It makes them real women with female hearts. I always love photos and these were especially good. Thanks!
