About Molly b'Damn, Julia Bulette and Adah Issacs Menken
"As soon as a cow town or a mining camp grew large enough to have a few saloons and a general store, prostitutes arrived from the east and set up shop.
"First came the miners to work in the mine, Then came the ladies who lived on the line," says an old ballad.
They established themselves in rows of one-room shacks, called cribs, and often hung out shingles bearing their trade names: Spanish Queen, Molly b'Damn, Little Gold Dollar, Em' Straight-Edge, Peg-Leg Annie, Contrary Mary and others of more ribald nature."
