There are references to other women by first name in many of the entries, written in the code. Maybe the 1893 diary dates actually were used by the writer for some later year. I am still doing research on this diary and the KKK, and if you have any information on Lula Brownell, W.A., or Libbie, I would be very interested.

Greetings All!I am a filmmaker working on a documentary video project about Mame Faye, a madame who lived in Troy, NY and ran a brothel on Troy's 'line' (red light district) at the turn of the century up until around 1943.For the project we are interviewing and collecting oral histories from people who have stories about times on 'the line' as well as from people who have heard stories as passed down through the generations.If anyone has any information on written documentation on red light districts in and around NYS at the turn of the century or any information on Troy's thriving red light district, or Mame Faye herself, or other Madames from troy, and that time, I would greatly appreciate anything offered!
