5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Living Book for Unit on Westward Expansion,
This review is from: Black Frontiers: A History of African American Heroes in the Old West (Paperback)
This book is a wonderful glimpse into the world of African Americans on the Frontier and in the Old West. Perfect for visual learners, the chapters are short, but chock full of wonderful anecdotes, complemented by dozens of historical black and white photographs. This book makes history come alive with tidbits that I never knew. For example, some slaves sought their freedom by joining Native American tribes and becoming "Black Indians." Some chapters are general overviews of types of people such as cowboys or Black homesteaders. Other chapters are biographical sketches of specific men and women -Jim Beckwourth and Biddy Mason, for example. Black Frontiers is a great living book, suitable for a Westward Expansion unit study. My ten year old daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed it as part of our Winter Promise American Story 2 curriculum. I recommend it for grades 3-6.
