Richard Stott conducts research in social and cultural history, including labor history, immigration and ethnicity and the history of the American West in the 19th century. His latest book, Jolly Fellows: Male Milieus in Nineteenth -Century America, examines the historical transformation of male spaces in nineteenth-century America. Looking at locales such as taverns, the Bowery, gold-rush California, steamboats and colleges, Jolly Fellows analyzes the causes and consequences of the emergence of a more restrained masculine comportment and style.
