Description
Book SynopsisAt the turn of the twentieth century, two distinct, yet at times overlapping, male same-sex sexual subcultures had emerged in the Pacific Northwest. This title draws on police logs, court records, and newspaper accounts to create a picture of the lives of these men and youths - their sexual practices, cultural networks, and more.
