Few books of this nature on the market

Biographies of historical madams of the American west are rare. This book is well researched and documented, and consequently a fine addition to prostitution literature. The author spent over 10 years collecting material on unrepentant Madam Stella, her life and her family. Eversole has written an engaging story with much substance. She presents a good balance of photographs and text. Madam Stella comes alive in this book and her story is well worth reading. At the book's conclusion I had hoped to find another madam's story by this author; unfortunately, there is none. Hopefully she will write again about old west madams. This book is a must read for anyone interested in prostitution at the turn of the nineteenth century.
