But as to your question, I do not believe anyone can answer it with any accurcy. There were quite a few of various stages of fame and esteem. If you ever discover yourself please be sure to let us know who you were.

I was the owner a a very classy joint and not a lady of the evening myself. I will try and find out the name the next time I visit with her. Do you know how many there were in the mid 1800's?

She lived in Bodie Calif. Left the profession and married the town butcher. I know she was burried by her husband, but he had to put her grave outside of the cemetary. Would you happen to know what her full name is and when she lived there? Bob, I hae been doing some research on the soiled dove and ran across a young woman by the name of Jean.

I plan to write one on Ben and brother Bill when I recover more fully from the stroke, they show up in so many of the other ones. The chapter on the ladies of the night are my most sought out and read, wish I could provide more on them. As stated Many of these women went on to become respected ladies of the old west. And to claim to be a desendent from one is no shame. I am always so pleased to hear from some one like you. ramblingbob Mitch, thanks so much for you visit, comments and information.

She was married to Texas Billy Thompson. He and his brother Ben had very interesting lives as well. For some reason Ben was left out of the history of the wild west even though he was known by Buffulo Bill Cody and Bat Masterson as the best pistoleer of the era. Just one more note.
