But he also taught himself Shoshone, French, and Spanish, denounced formal religion, married a Shoshone woman, and eventually became a United States diplomat.In this fascinating biography, Clyde A. Milner II and Carol A. O'Connor, co-editors of the acclaimed Oxford History of the American West, trace Stuart's remarkable trajectory from his birth in Virginia, through his formative years...

I never expected myself to become a writer neither I was an avid reader. But one thing that triggered me to write this book was my disposition towards sexuality when I was in the first year of my graduation. So, I decided to explore more about this unexplored arena, unaware of the fact that I was entering the grey shade that existed in the world centuries ago but hardly people talked about it. Even now too most people avoid talking about sexuality. Well, the more I probed into this, the deeper I dived into it. I came across many factors that I thought to put into words and let the world know about the darker side of this arena called “sexuality”. So, what now you are holding in your hand is something not filled with several colors but it definitely has some shades. And I urge you not to judge the characters without keeping yourself in their shoes. This book will take you to the world which you might have heard about it but have not observed it yet. Remember! Love is love and it needs not any validation about your attributes or your professed sexuality.
