About the Author
Congratulations, Dr. Branstetter,” my University of North Carolina PhD committee said when its members welcomed me back into the defense room after debating my qualifications. At that point, I didn’t even know if I still wanted to be a professor. I have come to believe the force of inertia, like nostalgia, is powerful in ways we often underestimate. Inertia kept me in the Southeast for three more years, even as I continued to work on the brothel project during the summers.
I was born and raised in the Silver Valley, and in 2015, I finally quit my professor career to move back to Wallace and finish this book, which I started in 2010. Throughout this writing, my grandma Jo’s inner strength and moral compass inspired me. Her lifelong partner, my grandpa Ken, was the Wallace Depot’s station agent for about a quarter of a century. He passed away in September 2016, but I keep them both in my heart and am grateful for their guidance and choice to raise their family in Wallace, because growing up in the Silver Valley taught me to keep my mind open, my heart judgment-free and my spirit independent. I hope this work serves my local community by helping to preserve its rich history and collective memory.
