520    The American West of the nineteenth century was a world of
       freedom and adventure for men of every stripe--not least 
       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. 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.
