The true West : real stories about black cowboys, women sharpshooters, Native American rodeo stars, pioneering vaqueros, and the unsung explorers, builders, and heroes who shaped the American West / by Mifflin Lowe ; illustrations by Wiliam Luong.

Lowe, Mifflin, (author.). Luong, Wiliam, (illustrator.).

Summary:

"I've written this book in hopes that its stories--and the incredible people they're about--will pull our country closer together through a shared history of the American West. In its own way the Wild West was a melting post every bit as much as the cities of the East Coast--and maybe even more so. While the American cowboy is, deservedly, a cultural icon and part of our national mythology, what many people don't know, is that a significant per\centage of America's cowboys were African American, Latino, and Native American. Many cowboys were even...cowgirls." -- excerpt from author's note page 7.
