I could not have completed this project without the expertise, advice, and compassion of the following people: Tim Lowry, thank you for trusting me to tell your great uncle’s story; Idaho State Archives staff, and especially Angie Davis and Jim Riley, who worked with me to schedule many inmate record appointments; Idaho State Historical Society Collections staff, especially Nicole Inghilterra, who took me under her wing; Dr. Lisa McClain, for being a solid mentor and person; Alan Virta, for sharing his research on Infamous Crimes Against Nature and Sodomy convictions; Chelsee Boehm, for telling me about Emil’s antimacassar and cheering me on; my family and friends, for always believing in me and being excited for me; my partner, Bernie, for giving me the space and grace to pursue my M.A. and being my anchor. Finally, for the LGBTQ+ community past, present, and future, I see and love you. We deserve to take up space and have our stories written down.
