"Keith Ryan Cartwright is a master storyteller, who has accomplished what could be considered his life's work in his first attempt. This is a very important book coming at an equally important time."--Ty Murray, nine-time Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association world champion, "Keith Ryan Cartwright's book is an essential corrective to the lily-white history of the cowboy and the American West that has been promoted by motion pictures and white supremacists for centuries. It works as both a sweeping look at the cowboy ethos and profiles of scores of those whose greatness made America."--Nelson George, author, filmmaker, music and culture critic, "Can I get a yee-haw ! Black Cowboys of Rodeo is a marvel of a book--built with muscular research and smooth writing, resurrecting larger-than-life characters who will amaze and inspire readers. Cowboys have long been symbols of American grit and self-reliance. Black cowboys are that and more. Thank goodness their stories are finally being told--and told so beautifully."--Jonathan Eig, best-selling author of Ali: A Life, "Keith Ryan Cartwright is a master storyteller, who has accomplished what could be considered his life's work in his first attempt. This is a very important book coming at an equally important time."--Ty Murray, nine-time Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association World Champion, "Keith Ryan Cartwright's book is an essential corrective to the lily-white history of the cowboy and the American West that has been promoted by motion pictures and white supremacists for centuries. It works as both a sweeping look at the cowboy ethos and profiles of scores and men and women whose greatness made America."--Nelson George, author, filmmaker, music and culture critic, "The myths and legend of the American West meet the real-life struggles and triumphs of Black cowboys in this fascinating account from journalist Cartwright. . . . This stirring history will have readers rethinking the very definition of Americana."-- Publishers Weekly , starred review, "Can I get a yee-haw ? Black Cowboys of Rodeo is a marvel of a book--built with muscular research and smooth writing, resurrecting larger-than-life characters who will amaze and inspire readers. Cowboys have long been symbols of American grit and self-reliance. Black cowboys are that and more. Thank goodness their stories are finally being told--and told so beautifully."--Jonathan Eig, best-selling author of Ali: A Life, "There is nothing quite so tantalizing as hidden history. Remember what it felt like to be a young person, when it seemed like grownups were conspiring to hide the truth? In this case, they were. In reading a book like Black Cowboys of Rodeo , young people searching for identity find their heroes."--Erin Alvarado, high school librarian and cofounder of the Southeastern Young Adult Book Festival, "Keith Ryan Cartwright's book is an essential corrective to the lily-white history of the cowboy and the American West that has been promoted by motion pictures and white supremacists for centuries. It works as both a sweeping look at the cowboy ethos and profiles of scores of [those] whose greatness made America."--Nelson George, author, filmmaker, music and culture critic, "Hollywood has not always been on the right side of history when it comes to portraying Black cowboys, but a thoroughly researched book like Black Cowboys of Rodeo finally amends that narrative."--Blair Underwood, actor, producer, and director, "This is a fantastic book and is a history book that hopefully never gets lost or forgotten. . . . This is a book that should be required reading in American History classes."--Tom Knuppel, KNUP Sports, "With the vivid, detailed portraits in Black Cowboys of Rodeo , Keith Ryan Cartwright not only chronicles a series of brave and pioneering lives; he also fills in a missing and vital piece of America's cultural history."--Alan Light, SiriusXM Host, best-selling author and former editor-in-chief of Vibe and Spin magazines, "By including cowboys both in the arena and on the screen, Cartwright's stories introduce readers to Black cowboys who created the West and, in part, the development of the iconic cowboy."--Tracey Hanshew, Journal of Sport History, "From the Gene Autry epigraph that opens it, this entire book is a revelation--a lively and comprehensive look at a subculture, but one that spills its bounds to become a sweeping panorama of American life. Depression-era foreclosures, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, crashing the Oscars, John Wayne's Dollar and Roy Rogers's Trigger, plus cameos from Willie Nelson, Medgar Evers, Aretha Franklin's ex-husband, and Muhammad Ali (on horseback!)--hold on for the ride, because Black Cowboys of Rodeo will buck off every one of your preconceptions."--Alexander Wolff, best-selling author of The Audacity of Hoop: Basketball and the Age of Obama, "Keith Ryan Cartwright's book is an essential corrective to the lily-white history of the cowboy and the American West that has been promoted by motion pictures and white supremacists for centuries. It works as both a sweeping look at the cowboy ethos and profiles of scores of men and women whose greatness made America."--Nelson George, author, filmmaker, music and culture critic, " Black Cowboys of Rodeo is a much-needed look at the lives of modern Black cowboys. For too long this story has been overlooked. But that omission stops with this book. Keith Ryan Cartwright takes readers on a journey from farm life in Oklahoma, to the Jim Crow south, the bright lights of Hollywood, and the streets of Harlem. Filled with stories of famous men like the legendary Bill Pickett and many other unheralded Black men who scraped their way to make a living in rodeo, Cartwright has produced a beautifully written manuscript about Black manhood."--Louis Moore, best-selling author of We Will Win the Day: The Civil Rights Movement, "Keith Ryan Cartwright's masterful excavation of the contribution of Black cowboys to American history is both rich and timely. The engaging stories of the individuals chronicled in Black Cowboys of Rodeo chronicle the lives and struggles of men who were not only field hands and laborers but family men, businessmen, entertainers, and entrepreneurs. This book will be illuminating to many still unfamiliar with the important role they played in the taming and shaping of the American West."--Yohuru Williams, founding director of the Racial Justice Initiative at the University of St. Thomas, "Black history has long been (and more than often totally) omitted or purposely outright removed from the storytelling of American history. What makes Keith Ryan Cartwright's Black Cowboys of Rodeo so significant is not just the documenting of a part of America's history that has somehow been 'lost' but the inclusion of voices of the people telling them. This is Cartwright's book, but their stories, and he allows them the overdue privilege of speaking their truths."--Scoop Jackson, features writer for ESPN's Omitted--The Black Cowboy, "Cartwright's writing is exceptional. The reader is treated to superb narrative storytelling that makes domestic scenes and road trips just as lively as the rodeos themselves. The author uses oral histories to communicate his subjects' thoughts and experiences in a way that renders complex issues approachable."--Meg Frisbee, South Dakota History, "Keith Ryan Cartwright's masterful excavation of the contribution of Black cowboys to American history is both rich and timely. The engaging stories of the individuals in Black Cowboys of Rodeo chronicle the lives and struggles of men who were not only field hands and laborers but family men, businessmen, entertainers, and entrepreneurs. This book will be illuminating to many still unfamiliar with the important role they played in the taming and shaping of the American West."--Yohuru Williams, founding director of the Racial Justice Initiative at the University of St. Thomas
