Description

William Drummond Stewart and Same-Sex Desire in the Rocky Mountain Fur Trade This book tells the story of William Drummond Stewart, a Scottish nobleman who found a sense of freedom and adventure in the American West of the 1830s and 1840s. Stewart's travels took him from his arrival in America in 1832 to his return to Scotland, where he formed close relationships with notable figures of the time, including Kit Carson and Marcus Whitman. Stewart's experiences in the Rocky Mountain fur trade offer a unique perspective on the role of homosexuality in shaping the American West. Through his letters and novels, Stewart's story provides a fascinating insight into the cultural and social context of the time. This book chronicles Stewart's journey, including a scandalous party he hosted with his companion Antoine Clement, and sheds new light on the lives of men who lived outside the boundaries of traditional masculinity. By exploring Stewart's story, this book provides a fresh perspective on the history of the American West and the lives of those who lived on its fringes.
