As New in As New jacket. 1st printing. Gilt-stamped cloth. 351pp. Illust. Double page map of most of Alaska. Notes. Bibliography. A really nicely done book with chapters not just on particular ladies (e.g., Klondike Kate, George Lee, Mae Field), but how gold rush towns embraced (pardon the pun) the ladies, or vice versa (pardon the pun). "Mining the Klondike Kings-Nuggets and Nuptials", "Sin in Southern Alaska-Bargaining for Love", "Fairbanks Battling the Odds-Establishing the Best Line in the West", etc. Fine, like new in dj.
