""Julia Bulette and Other Red Light Ladies"" is a fascinating account of the lives and times of the women who worked as madams and prostitutes in the Wild West. Written by historian Hillyer Best, this book offers a comprehensive overview of the world of prostitution in the 19th century, with a particular focus on the women who ran brothels and the challenges they faced in a society that often viewed them as outcasts.Through a combination of historical research and personal anecdotes, Best brings to life the stories of some of the most famous madams of the era, including Julia Bulette, who ran a successful brothel in Virginia City, Nevada, and was known for her kindness and generosity to the miners who frequented her establishment. Other notable figures include Belle Brezing, who operated a high-end brothel in Lexington, Kentucky, and was rumored to have had affairs with several prominent politicians and businessmen.In addition to these individual stories, ""Julia Bulette and Other Red Light Ladies"" also explores the broader social and cultural context of prostitution in the West, including the role of gender, race, and class in shaping attitudes towards sex work. Best also delves into the legal and economic aspects of the industry, examining the ways in which brothels were regulated and the ways in which madams were able to amass wealth and power.Overall, ""Julia Bulette and Other Red Light Ladies"" is a thoroughly researched and engagingly written account of a little-known aspect of American history. It offers a nuanced and sympathetic portrait of the women who worked in the sex trade, while also shedding light on the larger social and cultural forces that shaped their lives and experiences.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Two high school friends take very different paths during WWII. The traditional Angie falls in love--orever--with a sailor, whose life is suddenly ended by a German torpedo, while her friend Dorothy attempts something unheard of in the forties: going to law school. Newfoundland during the wartime forties was hardly Rosie the Riveter Country. So, when Angie loses her sailor lover and marries the boy next door--who turns out to be a sexual sadist--she fears there is no way out. She turns to her friend Dorothy, a woman lawyer at a time when such aspirations seemed impossible. But it's what happens after that, in a world where feminism did not exist, that's surprising--and unsettling. This novel is a tale of loss, female friendship, and of a time long past, when being a woman had few advantages, and many disadvantages. Filled with tragedy, magic realism, and humour, this novel paints a picture of women's lives in the forties, and of the prevailing and enduring power of female friendship.

A Lost Film of Lambert Hillyer, Starring George Hackathorne and Lucille Ricksen

Hollywood director LAMBERT HILLYER made three films in 1924 according to standard reference sources, Those Who Dance, Barbara Frietchie, and Idle Tongues. However, contemporary trade papers and newspapers show that he directed and completed the shooting of another film that yearGOLD HEELS, originally titled CHECKERS, which was never released but remade by Fox under the same title using another director, a new script, and a different cast. Of Hillyer's film there are reproductions of a few stills and we hear of a preview but the film is lost - not only in the physical sense but it has gone unrecorded in filmographies of the director and of the actors(who included Lucille Ricksen) and in the American Silent Feature Film Database. Set out here is the evidence for Hillyer's film with some thoughts on possible reasons for its suppression (he was arrested and jailed soon after its completion)and on his relationship with Thomas Ince.

Even though everyone is quick to jump to conclusions, Tessa is certain that her sister's killer wasn't Boyd, the boy next door whom they've all loved in their own way. Still, there are too many details that don't add up, too many secrets tucked away in the past. But no matter how fiercely Tessa searches for answers, at the core of that complicated night is a truth that's heartbreakingly simple.
