Excerpt from Wabash City Directory for 1904: Containing a Complete List of Citizens Over 16, a Classified Business Directory, a Map of the City, a List of the Rural Route Patrons, a Gazetteer of Wabash County, and a Miscellaneous Directory of the Local Institutions In presenting our Directory to the public, we desire to state that the information it contains has been collected by a careful and thorough canvass of the city. Extreme care and patience have been used to make the book complete and reliable, and we feel confident that the public which has been so courteous in granting its assistance will be not less appreciative in its reception of our work. Attention is invited to the fact that our age limit, sixteen years, is the lowest used by any Directory firm. Boys and girls often go out to work at this age, and it cannot fail to add to the value of the book if they are listed. Another distinctive feature of our work is the indication of the total size of families by a numeral following the family group. The extra trouble and expense of this information is justified by its great convenience to users of the Directory. In this connection, a word of acknowledgement is due to those whose liberal patronage have made the book possible. We are indebted, also, to the local press, Whose courtesies have been freely extended and valuable in many ways. There is an obligation resting too on the people at large. The principal expense of a new Directory is borne by the business men who advertise, and considering the public spirit they have shown in supporting this enterprise, we would respectfully suggest that it is up to the public to read the advertisements!

Winner, 2018 U.S. History PROSE Award The incredible stories of how trans men assimilated into mainstream communities in the late 1800s In 1883, Frank Dubois gained national attention for his life in Waupun, Wisconsin. There he was known as a hard-working man, married to a young woman named Gertrude Fuller. What drew national attention to his seemingly unremarkable life was that he was revealed to be anatomically female. Dubois fit so well within the small community that the townspeople only discovered his “true sex” when his former husband and their two children arrived in the town searching in desperation for their departed wife and mother. At the turn of the twentieth century, trans men were not necessarily urban rebels seeking to overturn stifling gender roles. In fact, they often sought to pass as conventional men, choosing to live in small towns where they led ordinary lives, aligning themselves with the expectations of their communities. They were, in a word, unexceptional. In True Sex, Emily Skidmore uncovers the stories of eighteen trans men who lived in the United States between 1876 and 1936. Despite their “unexceptional” quality, their lives are surprising and moving, challenging much of what we think we know about queer history. By tracing the narratives surrounding the moments of “discovery” in these communities – from reports in local newspapers to medical journals and beyond – this book challenges the assumption that the full story of modern American sexuality is told by cosmopolitan radicals. Rather, True Sex reveals complex narratives concerning rural geography and community, persecution and tolerance, and how these factors intersect with the history of race, identity and sexuality in America.
