Wicked Charleston, Vol. II: Prostitutes, Politics & Prohibition
Volume II continues the revelry by focusing the spotlight on the "ladies of Eden" who plied their
trade to the rich , the elite and the poor alike. During the 19th century the most integrated
places in Charleston were the brothels. Now fashionable Market Street was three blocks of sex
and sin, a place where a sailor could get a beer, a tattoo and a social disease. During
Prohibition more than 20,000 South Carolinians made a living as a
bootlegger.
