GRAY published by HERITAGE HOUSE. http://www.heritagehouse.ca/fifthhouse/redlightprarie.html It can drag on but really puts this business in perspective. Paige, if it is no longer available just PM me and I will send you my copy.

Red Lights on the Prairies
James H. Gray
$14.95
1-895618-59-2
This unconventional social history, Red Lights on the Prairies, tells how the West became overrun with brothels when huge numbers of immigrants, mostly unattached young men in the prime of life, swept into this region as settlers. This book looks on the prairie cities and towns that were home to the bars, brothels and poolrooms and also describes the work of the police, clergy and moral reformers who were at times outraged by the behaviour in the brothels. James Gray draws from local newspapers, from several former madams, and the story telling of old-timers who had been youths at the turn of the century. This is a vivid and authentic look at a colourful and offbeat aspect of our past.
