Real stories are the BEST stories…especially when they aren’t well-known! This graphic novel about Black heroes of the Wild West has amazing illustrations, but also photographs of the actual characters, historical background information, and a timeline. It’s high quality from cover to cover! Especially good for kids who get overwhelmed by too many words on a page or have dyslexia, as pictures break up all the information to give the eyes a rest. The back pages offer suggested resources for further information. 59 pgs, paperback.
Publisher's Description of Black Heroes of the Wild West
This graphic novel by JAMES OTIS SMITH
celebrates the extraordinary true tales of three black heroes who took
control of their destinies and stood up for their communities in the Old
West. Born into slavery in Tennessee, Mary Fields became famous as
“Stagecoach Mary,” a cigar-chomping, card playing coach driver who never
missed a delivery. Bass Reeves, the first black Deputy US Marshal west
of the Mississippi, was one of the wiliest lawmen in the territories,
bringing thousands of outlaws to justice with his smarts. Bob Lemmons
lived to be 99 years old and was so good with horses that the wild
mustangs on the plains of Texas took him for one of their own.
