As a few times removed Blackfoot I have a personal connection w/ the Original People of Turtle Island and a kinship w/ those aborginal people of the African continent. A much beligned timeline of the American West was greatly influeenced by those brave Blacks who migrated (runaways and free) out West, maarried and had children. The West is replet with examples of the Blackman's courage (hence the nickname Buffalo Soldier), ingenuity (helping to tame another unknown land Xs 2), and integrity (dep loyality). This book is an intregal/essential part of any historicaly correct libary. I have read many books re: the West and always While the Blackman continues to be held in contempt (as do the Original People). They are still holding the United States in high regard. The Blackman has fought in every war this country has ever engaged in combat. Still no equalty. Its good to read a book that a bit more open and upfront w/ the history of the two most disrespected/dispised peoples of N America.Read full review
It can be said that African American History is comprosed of the missing links and missing pages of American history. There was innumerable products that were invented my blacks, events in history that were impacted by blacks, and so many misrepresentations about who and what African Americans are, and the Rich History from which they came from. The Black West by William Loren Katz is a huge step in shining some light on the knowledge and information what the education system, and really the American system in general, has been so carefully sweeping under the rug. THIS IS A MUST READ FOR EVERYONE!!
i am very satisfied with everything. the book is in very good condition and the delivery was very quick. i would tell people about this seller.
