There might have been a mention of Estevan, slavery, or the Dred Scott decision, but the rich and varied experience of African Americans on the Great Plains went largely unnoted. This book, the first of its kind, supplies that critical missing chapter in American history Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes English Print version record Subject African Americans -- Great Plains -- History Frontier and pioneer life -- Great Plains SOCIAL SCIENCE -- Ethnic Studies -- African American Studies.
