The memoirs of Dr. John McCalla Jr., a nineteenth century Washington DC physician, portray the life of an active male bisexual in the second half of
that century.  The papers, at the Washington, DC Historical Society, were transcribed and edited by Mark Herlong, Ph.D., who summarized the papers
in a presentation to the 31st annual Washington, DC Historical Studies Conference in November 2003.

Herlong has extensively researched the clubs, social activities and other events recalled in the McCalla papers.  McCalla's memoirs reflect the pressures and
activities of local male bisexuals during the period.
