Black Frontiers: A History Of African American Heroes In The Old West

By Lillian Schlissel

Book Overview

Of the 38,000 cowboys who drove cattle in the Old West in the late 1800s, one in four was black. Black Frontiers chronicles the achievements of the brave men and women who settled the Western frontier from the end of the Civil War to the beginning of the 20th century. Vintage photos give readers an up-close look at black homesteaders, cowboys, civil rights crusaders, and rodeo riders.
