The American West of the nineteenth century was a world of freedom and adventure for men of every stripe - not least also those who admired and desired other men. Among these sojourners was William Drummond Stewart, a flamboyant Scottish nobleman. This book traces Stewart's travels from his arrival in America in 1832 to his return to Perthshire, Scotland, with his French Canadian-Cree Indian companion, Antoine Clement.
