Summary
Ilsley Boone, a controversial figure in the American nudist scene, founded the American Sunbathing Association and maintained control over the organization despite opposition. He also founded a nudist school for children and won an appeal to allow full-frontal nudity in nudist magazines to be mailed through the U.S. Post Office. Despite his influence on nudism, Boone faced financial difficulties and passed away in 1968, leaving a profound impact on the nudist movement.
