The Journal of Joshua Loper: A Black Cowboy

Wow! If you're looking for a Wild West book, this is the one. I'm sure you'll love how the story leads off, and how it ends. This story begins when a teenager reaches the age to go on a cattle trip, and is totally psyched, but did not know what was In store for him. What he learns is Simple; 1.AIM BEFORE YOU SHOOT 2.HOW TO ROPE A CATTLE. This is also a very touching, and emotional story, but Joshua puts it together perfectly. The part in this story that I liked the most was when they reached a town called; Abilence. Abilence is a rough town where you're sure to get in a fight ,and you wont be disappointed! Joshua goes through some rough times but makes it through the whole trip. I give this book a 5 out of 5. Jeremy Snowden.

This was a good My Name is America book. Joshua is sixteen and he and his mother live and work on a ranch in 1871. His father is trying to find work somewhere else so they can all live together. Joshua is offered a job on a cattle drive so he takes it. The work is hard but he is proud to earn money for his mother. He keeps a journal thats tells what happens to him on the cattle drive. This was a good book
