Review
“Leaves no doubt that black Americans were an important part of Western history. Excellent bibliography. Recommended for all undergraduate, graduate, and public libraries concerned with building a complete collection in Afro-American and Western history.”–Choice
“The story of Black Americans in the trans-Mississippi West from 1830 to 1890 is admirably told in this important volume, which is certain to be recognized as a valuable addition to frontier as well as black historiography. As Ray Allen Billington notes in his introduction, Professor Savage has dedicated his long and his distinguished career to the study of the subject and he knows it extremely well.”–Journal of Arizona History
