Male-Male Intimacy in Early America

This single volume provides a comprehensive overview of the role of male homosexuality in the early years of American history. Honored as a 2007 Stonewall Book Award nonfiction selection, Male-Male Intimacy in Early America brings together hard-to-find information that has until now been widely scattered in journals and archives across the country, using personal letters, diaries, court records, and contemporary publications to examine the role of homosexual activity in the lives of American men in the Colonial period and in the early years of the new republic.
