PEOPLE OF COLOR ON AMERICA'S WESTERN FRONTIER
"Regrettably, many of the accomplishments and sagas of African Americans, Native Americans, Mexican Americans and Asian Americans have never been told in book form. There is a need for the total history of the American West to be told so there will be a more complete picture. Members of these groups played a crucial role in the development of our nation, and the West is no exception," Art T. Burton, author of the books, "Black, Red and Deadly" and "Black, Buckskin and Blue"
