Buffalo Soldiers, Cowboys, and Homesteaders: Blacks on the American Frontier (Lucent Library of Black History)
by David Robson
Description
This accessible history examines the diverse experiences of African Americans who helped shape the American frontier as soldiers, cowboys, ranchers, and homesteaders. It explores their contributions to westward expansion while also considering the racism, violence, and limited opportunities they faced in a rapidly changing nation. Drawing on historical context and engaging examples, the book challenges familiar images of the West and highlights the resilience, skill, and determination of Black pioneers. An informative introduction to an often-overlooked chapter of African American and American history.
