Lindsay (1717 KP) rated The Journal Of Joshua Loper, A Black Cowboy (My Name Is America) in Books
Feb 15, 2018
It a good read. Though this is mostly about the time in American History. It tells you more about being Black cowboy and on the trail of "The Chisholm Trail in 1871."
If you enjoy history this is good. This is told though the boys prospective as in Dear American is told though a girl prospective. It good for children to learn about our history at that time. Learn about Cattle drives as well as what it was like being African American in the 1871.
