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. His current research is on the cultural history of rural America, focusing on the New York Ledger, a "story paper” which had the largest circulation of any weekly periodical in the United States at the end of the antebellum era, and its flamboyant editor Robert Bonner.
