Ordered a copy of Peter Boag's "Re-Dressing America's Frontier Past" while nabbing a couple of books from some university presses' holiday sales, which arrived today, and I am not ashamed to admit that one of my first thoughts flipping through it was "This is going to be so useful for writing trans!Marty in the 1880s fics"

#i've read some of boag's academic work before (particularly thinking of 'go west young man! go east young woman!')#as well as some works that heavily cited him like emily skidmore's 'true sex' (another book i'd really like to own)#but somehow i've never actually read his book #i have time-sensitive german homework tonight but winter break is almost upon me and i'm so excited to read this one....#transblogging
