Описание: Who were the black cowboys? They were drovers, foremen, fiddlers, cowpunchers, cattle rustlers, cooks, and singers. They worked as wranglers, riders, ropers, bulldoggers, and bronc busters. They came from varied backgrounds - some grew up in slavery, while free blacks often got their start in Texas and Mexico. Most who joined the long trail drives were men, but black women also rode and worked on western ranches and farms. The first overview of the subject in more than fifty years, Black Cowboys in the American West surveys the life and work of these cattle drivers from the years before the Civil War through the turn of the twentieth century. Including both classic, previously published articles and exciting new research, this collection also features select accounts of twentieth-century rodeos, music, people, and films. Arranged in three sections - ""Cowboys on the Range,"" ""Performing Cowboys,"" and ""Outriders of the Black Cowboys"" - the thirteen chapters illuminate the great diversity of the black cowboy experience. Like all ranch hands and riders, African American cowboys lived hard, dangerous lives. But black drovers were expected to do the roughest, most dangerous work - and to do it without complaint. They faced discrimination out west, albeit less than in the South, which many had left in search of autonomy and freedom. As cowboys, they could escape the brutal violence visited on African Americans in many southern communities and northern cities. Black cowhands remain an integral part of life in the West, the descendants of African Americans who ventured west and helped settle and establish black communities. This long-overdue examination of nineteenth- and twentieth-century black cowboys ensures that they, and their many stories and experiences, will continue to be known and told.

Описание:
Throughout LeRoy Green's childhood and adulthood, he would endure pain, suffering, disrespect, and abuse. He would spend his early adulthood pursuing the world and giving himself over to alcohol, partying, clubbing, and drugs. Had he not turned his life over to Christ to guide his footsteps, thoughts, and decisions, LeRoy knows he would have a different story to tell.
Beginning his police life as a detention deputy working in a jail, LeRoy faced racism, injustice, and a system that worked against him. However, through hard work and--most importantly--through relying on God, LeRoy would work his way up over the years to become the first African American sheriff in Kansas. God would also open the door for LeRoy to travel all around the United States and abroad.
LeRoy firmly believes that if God had not been standing by his side, he would have given up early in his life. But God was right there beside him, helping him walk through his circumstances, decisions, and the challenges he would face throughout his years.
