Description
This beautifully illustrated book helps correct the mistaken idea that there was no African-American presence on the frontier. Blacks settled in North America before the arrival of the Mayflower. Estevan came with Spanish explorers in 1527 and explored the southwest; Jean Baptiste Point Du Sable founded Chicago; Mary Fields was a legend in Montana; Jim Beckworth discovered a pass through the Rocky Mountains; Biddy Mason took her master to court in California to gain her freedom.
