Men in Eden: William Drummond Stewart and Same-Sex Desire in the Rocky Mountain Fur TradeThe American West of the nineteenth century was a world of freedom and adventure for men of every stripe not least also those who admired and desired other men. Among these sojourners was William Drummond Stewart, a flamboyant Scottish nobleman who found in American culture of the 1830s and 1840s a cultural milieu of openness in which men could pursue same sex relationships.

The American West of the nineteenth century was a world of freedom and adventure for men of every stripe--not least also those who admired and desired other men. Among these sojourners was William Drummond Stewart, a flamboyant Scottish nobleman who found in American culture of the 1830s and 1840s a cultural milieu of openness in which men could pursue same-sex relationships. This book traces Stewart's travels from his arrival in America in 1832 to his return to Murthly Castle in Perthshire, Scotland, with his French Canadian-Cree Indian companion, Antoine Clement, one of the most skilled hunters in the Rockies. Benemann chronicles Stewart's friendships with such notables as Kit Carson, William Sublette, Marcus Whitman, and Jim Bridger. He describes the wild Renaissance-costume party held by Stewart and Clement upon their return to America--a journey that ended in scandal. Through Stewart's letters and novels, Benemann shows that Stewart was one of many men drawn to the sexual freedom offered by the West. His book provides a tantalizing new perspective on the Rocky Mountain fur trade and the role of homosexuality in shaping the American West.

Great quality tuxedo
Color: Black, Size: XX-Large
This tuxedo is amazing size was perfect, comfortable and very well made. This tuxedo quality is so above average that it is better than ones I have rented . It was also cheaper in price than a rental. If you need a tuxedo for a formal event this is what you are looking for. If you want to look better then any one else at a non formal event this is the tuxedo you want ..

Perfect suit for boys
Color: Navy Blue, Size: 12 Years, Color: Navy Blue, Size: 12 Years
So thankful for this! This suit was perfect! My son wore this all night playing and the durability of this fabric is on another level. Wasn't too thick, looked really nice, and fabric was really soft. It also blended really well with the suits from Mens Warehouse.

Perfect!
Color: Royal Blue, Size: 12 Years, Color: Royal Blue, Size: 12 Years
I was nervous about purchasing something like this at the last minute. But based on the previous reviews I decided to take a chance. The suit is nice and the material feels really good. Not thin or cheap at all. My son looked so handsome and grown up. He’s on the slim side so he does have extra room but I don’t mind it because he can definitely grow into it. I did purchase a separate tie because I wanted a pattern to complement the blue. I’d definitely purchase again!
