Like 'em, obviously, that's why I come here. Anyhow I just stumbled over a writer on the Smithsonian Mag who might be totally in your wheelhouse. As far as I can tell she only wrote a few handfulls of articles in the early 2010s but they are very much down this part of history: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/author/karen-abbott/

I highly recommend the ones on intercontinental car races and transgender society people in Victorian (??? I don't know my British monarch timeline and find it puzlling that Americans call eras after them) New York.

As usual, these a goldmine of pungent detail. I'm in awe.
