Welcome to Tombstone History Books
These books provide an entertaining reading experience but with explanations and details that will allow them to be used as historical references.
The author has extracted every article pertaining to Tombstone prostitution from every newspaper published at the time. The articles were written in a delightful Victorian style and some of them are laugh-out-loud funny. These articles are organized by subject and date and are included verbatim. Newspaper editors enjoyed poking fun at the filles de joi and the articles are still entertaining one hundred and thirty years later.
