Wicked Women: Notorious, Mischievous, and Wayward Ladies from the Old West.
“A man dressed in overalls and heavy shoes, with faded hat and bony hands are not to be feared unless he is drunk. Such a man will not steal and will work if he has work to do. It is the slick gentlemanly sneak, who tries to dress well, smokes cigarettes and opium, gambles when he has a stake, associates with soiled doves by day, living off their shameful earnings, and burglarizing residence by night. A proper distribution of muscle and a little birdshot would be the best treatment for such depraved men and their wicked women.”
The Daily Californian – October 29, 1882
