This book tells the rarely and untold stories of African American Historical Western Legends who contributed to the settling of the American Wild West. These ordinary individuals because of their choices and actions lived extraordinary lives during difficult times. They were trappers, midwives, horse trainers, Buffalo Soldiers, cowboys, cowgirls, musicians and more. Great role models for children (and adults) today. We know you will learn about individuals and history you may have never heard before. We hope you will share the stories with others.
