Introduction Decoding the Encrypted Erotics of Nineteenth-Century Westerns Intersections of Race and Homosexuality in the Wilderness Scandal in the Boom Towns: Print Cultures and Sexual Prohibitions Cowboy Poses: The Queer Eye in Early Photographs Singing From the Saddle: The 'Wild' West Goes Vaudeville Conclusion
Synopsis
Why do the earliest representations of cowboy-figures symbolizing the highest ideals of manhood in American culture exclude male-female desire while promoting homosocial and homoerotic bonds? Evidence from the best-known Western writers and artists of the post-Civil War period - Owen Wister, Mark Twain, Frederic Remington, George Catlin - as well as now-forgotten writers, illustrators, and photographers, suggest that in the period before the word 'homosexual' and its synonyms were invented, same-sex intimacy and erotic admiration were key aspects of a masculine code. These males-only clubs of journalists, cowboys, miners, Indian vaqueros defined themselves by excluding femininity and the cloying ills of domesticity, while embracing what Roosevelt called 'strenuous living' with other bachelors in the relative 'purity' of wilderness conditions. Queer Cowboys recovers this forgotten culture of exclusively masculine, sometimes erotic, and often intimate camaraderie in fiction, photographs, illustrations, song lyrics, historical ephemera, and theatrical performances., A study of popular pritn and visual materials produced between 1865 and 1910 representing homoerotic and homosocial behavior among men of all ethnicities in the American West., "Brokeback Mountain" exploded the myth of the American cowboy as a tough, gruff, and grizzled loner. "Queer Cowboys" exposes, through books by legendary Western writers such as Mark Twain, James Fenimore Cooper, and Owen Wister, how same-sex intimacy and homoerotic admiration were key aspects of Westerns well before "Brokeback'"s 1960's West, and well before the word "homosexual" was even invented. Chris Packard introduces readers to the males-only clubs of journalists, cowboys, miners, Indians, and vaqueros who defined themselves by excluding women and the cloying ills of domesticity and recovers a forgotten culture of exclusively masculine, sometimes erotic, and often intimate camaraderie in the fiction, photographs, and theatrical performances of the 1800's Wild West.
