Description: "This book provides a comprehensive overview of the role of male homosexuality in the early years of American history. It 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."--BOOK JACKET.
