Brides of the Multitude

by Jeremy Agnew ’64

“Brides of the Multitude” is a historically accurate account of why prostitution ran rampant in the Old West during the prudish Victorian period of the United States. Weaving facts with anecdotes, the book presents a look at the women who conducted business in the infamous red light districts located throughout the frontier, touches on their reasons for becoming prostitutes, and debunks many of the myths associated with prostitution in the Old West.
