Blacks In The West

Blacks in the West

Blacks, African Americans, played an important part in the opening of the west.  It just was not very popularized.  They were cowboys, homemakers, miners, entertainers, storeowners, barkeeps, saloon owners, laborers and just about all other jobs and professions.  You just don't hear about it much.  There are a number of very good books available on  the subject of these valued citizens and their participation in the opening of the American West.  Explore our stock and collection of such material.
