Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1869 to 1918 more than 1,200 women lived as prostitutes in Waco, Texas. When the city legalized its red-light district, floozies flocked to Waco where saloons and bordellos boomed. The Oldest Profession in Texas: Waco’s Legal Red-Light District examines the city’s complex stance on prostitution, debunks myths, and unveils (for the first time) the true identities of several early day madams.
