Description: 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.
