African American Women of the Old West
By Tricia Martineau Wagner. Softcover, 168 pages.
The story of African-American women in the Old West is one that has largely gone untold--until now. These ten remarkable women were all born before 1900, some were slaves, some were free, and some lived both ways during their lifetime. Among them were laundresses, freedom advocates, journalists, educators, midwives, business proprietors, mail and freight haulers, and social activists.
Includes a chapter on Mary Fields, also known as Montana's "Stagecoach Mary".
Softcover, 168 pages.
