Hunting and Trapping
One of the ways that people made a living in the Wild West was to trap and hunt animals. There was a big demand for fur in the East, as it was considered a luxury item, and in the West, it was often quite cold, so the people wanted the furs to make coats, blankets, and other items. Here, you can see a cabin with some fresh skins, which will soon be made into goods.

Brothels
Brothels were very common in the Wild West, too, and with so many men out in the west without female companionship, it is no wonder that many of the women who came out from the east found themselves working in brothels. These two are working in a brothel in Alaska, and as you can see, they are showing off their wares to potential customers.
