There Is Nothing New Under the Sun
Sincerelyornot of Oregon, 10/13/2011
A black cowboy... actually, a fairly common thing even "way back yonder" in the "bad old times." Racial equality was nothing new to the old west. I appreciate the honesty of this series, how it focuses on the real life aspects of history instead of only the politically correct ones. This is one of the more exciting journals, with lots of adventure and an upbeat ending. Definitely an old time favorite of mine.
