  An insight into to the male-only clubs of journalists, cowboys, miners, Indians and vaqueros who defined themselves by excluding women and the cloying ills of domesticity. He recovers a forgotten culture of exclusively masculine, sometimes erotic, and often intimate camaraderie in the cultural and artistic output of the 1800's Wild West.
