About the book

"Using public and private collections in every western state and in Canada, John Ravage has gathered more than three hundred photographs, line drawings, lithographs, stereoviews, and other images. This new edition of Black Pioneers also adds sections on black entertainers and ranchers, a chapter on the dating of historic photographs and their genealogical significance, as well as an expanded bibliography. All aid understanding of the black frontier experience." "Ravage goes beyond the stereotypical photography of the era, which often reflected white fears and prejudices, to present the works of frontier photographers. Black Pioneers is a visual document of the profound influence blacks had on communal and frontier history."--Jacket.
