Black Frontiers: A History of African American Heroes in the Old West
Description
This compelling history brings to light the often-overlooked African American men and women who helped shape the American West. Through their experiences as mountain men, soldiers, homesteaders, scouts, and community builders, it reveals lives marked by courage, perseverance, and determination in the face of racial injustice and frontier hardship. Combining vivid personal stories with historical context, the book challenges familiar Western mythology and restores Black pioneers to their rightful place in the nation’s past.
