Ronald Dean Miller

4.9/5 (29274 ratings)

Description:They came to settle the West. First the mountain men, restless, crossing into the trackless unknown. Then it was not unknown anymore. Next came the adventurers. Some were happy; others were unhappy. Some were afraid; others were unafraid. Each had his reason for coming. They had left bad wives or bad jobs or bad lives. There were only a few at first, but their numbers increased steadily. All of them suffered from a disease called "loneliness." They were the first men.Everyone knew who the first women would be.Those first women proved to be a lively group. Until they were stopped by the crushing onslaught of morality brought on by their more refined sisters, they accomplished much. Some were bawdy; some were not. Many proved to be a civilizing catalyst added to the sometimes explosive elements comprising the American West.The first men west were the like the wolf and the coyote. Their eyes were hard, and their hands were of the quality of old leather. The western harlot slowly began the task of softening their eyes and putting gloves on their hands. She brought culture to the culture-starved, polite conversation to the voiceless, and pity to the pitiless. She became the only heart to a heartless frontier.Everyone knows that the harlot was in the vanguard of every move westward, and that she was as much a part of the western scene as the marshal, the badman, or the rancher. Many are the reasons she has been neglected by the historian—none of them very valid.Ronald Dean Miller, in this most enlightening book, has sought to remedy some of the paucity of information on the American pioneers of this ancient profession.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
