The Story of a Life - Paperback

by Claude Hartland (Author)

This is the earliest autobiography of an avowed American homosexual, published in St. Louis in 1901. In rural Missouri, then in St. Louis, Hartland lived with his conscience (of his time), yet as a talented and perceptive writer he describes such things as street-cruising and the style of individual pickups that seem very familiar to us over 100 years later.
