The Kirkus Review up above is incorrect
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This is book #4, not book #3. The format is the same - an old black cowboy is telling stories to his old dog about Blacks in the early history of the United States - a long-ignored area of history. This series sheds some much-needed light and avoids being preachy. The information is solid and written in an active style - aimed at and just about perfect for 6-9th grade boys. It is written in a historical fiction style, rather than a biographical style. The average story is about 20 pages long. Each story has a picture. Book #4 features Mountain Men: -'Esteban and the Seven Cities of Gold' -Jean Baptiste Du Sable: Founder of Chicago -Jim Beckwourth: Mountain Man and Indian Chief -George McJunkin: Scholar and Cowboy
