Wild West: Brothels (Documentary) 1800's

[raygun]

Found this on 40 minute US tv documentary on Youtube External Link/Members Only

Interesting to me because it traces the history of the sex industry in the USA west. Reminds me of the story that the current US President's grandfather made the family fortune as a brothel keeper in Seattle and the mining town Monte Cristo, and brothels in the Klondike Gold Rush.

The tv show includes interviews with historians that say the culture and economy of the early "Wild West" depended on the working girls spending the money they earned. They used old photos and actors. Hard to get screen grabs because the images were moving all over the screen.
