Julie suggested this title saying: "High adventure for boys and chocked full of historically accurate details about cattle drives, multi-ethnic relations for cowboys and how African-Americans escaped the South after the Civil War and built a new life by going West. Well written and well researched."
I just put it on my shopping list. There seems to be a echoing wasteland of cowboy books in children's lit. Can anyone recommend more titles?
This was a nice cowboy book. It's based on a real person, and seems to give a more honest perspective of the diversity on our country.
