Interested in cowboys and/or the American West? Read this book.

Meticulously researched and deeply engaging, Black Cowboys in the American West: On the Range, on the Stage, behind the Badge, (edited by Bruce A. Glasrud and Michael N. Searles) explores the impact Black cowboys had on the Wild West. They once made up a quarter of all cowboys, yet their contributions have been largely erased from history, Hollywood, and popular imagination. This book restores these stories, showing how central Black people were to the economic, cultural, and social fabric of the region.

The book is organized into three parts:

Cowboys on the Range explores Black cowboys’ roles in the livestock industry before and after Emancipation, daily life on the range, and highlights figures like Mathew “Bones” Hooks, Nat Love, “80 John” Wallace, and Johana July.

Performing Cowboys focuses on Black cowboys in entertainment, including rodeos, Herb Jeffries’ film career, and musical traditions tied to cowboy life.

Outriders of the Black Cowboys highlights other influential Black figures such as “Stagecoach Mary” Fields, Charley Willis, lawman Bass Reeves, and the Black experience in Dodge City during its wild west era. My favorite section of the book.

If you're worried a historical essay collection might feel uneven or dry at some points, that's definitely not the case here. If I wasn't pausing regularly to take notes, I would've blasted through the book.

Five stars, easy.

i deserve a medal for this post. not because i was particularly funny but because i survived an onslaught of nearly one hundred gimmick blogs in the wake of this post popping off, and the fact that i didn’t try to track any of them down and snuff them out with my bare hands is a testament to my immeasurable strength and should be rewarded. at one point i had “the official letter h” add on to this post. you wanna know that blog’s gimmick? the really funny and original and worthwhile gimmick the official letter h blog had? yep you guessed it they just gave me the god damned letter H and then fucked off. only jesus knows the suffering i endured over that harsh winter, and he wept for me

Nothing has done quite so much damage to my internal vocabulary as the construction #MyNoun. I don't remember if it was from that "tour of my jar, this is my twig #MyTwig" or if it was from "inappropriate attachment to objects, my tuube #MyTuube" but either way it was one of you fuckers on here. I do it every time there's my noun #MyNoun
