Mexicans were the first cowboys in america since 1500s when there was no white or black man in americs just indians and mexicans? Did you blacks know that mexicans are native american halfbred indian?

The love of my life was black cowboy. He did horse stunts for many movies such as Buffalo Soldiers. He is no longer with us, he was run down by a bull. He had been shot, worked as a livestock inspector, etc. He was 20 years older and had so many great stories. He was a real cowboy and a real man, a dying breed. Man I miss him, boy could he dance! The good 'ol days.

I went to school with a strong athletic black student who was tops in all the sports. I call him Jim. Jimmy’s goal in life was to be a cowboy. He was an acedemic student tips in all his classes and gained a 4 scholarship to-a prestigious eastern college. Jim did graduate, but followed his desire to be a cowboy. To this day Jim is a top rodeo star, owns his own ranch and raises horses. I was very fortunate to have known him. He was always a friend in deed. Jim was someone to emulate fir his love of education, works and achievements. Jim Brooks if you are still out their I do remember you fondly and was proud to have been a friend and fellow student at BHS.

Love it! Black history never told. Thank you for sharing!!

Awesome video. So well made and narrated. Great photos too . My great-grandfather was in the 9th or the 10th calvary. He was a Buffalo Soldier. Alexander McPherson. After his service in the calvary, he and his family lived in Mexico for many years. And he worked on a large Ranchero tending to and breaking horses. He came back to the U.S. and settled in Mesa Arizona. They were the first black family in Mesa. In the eighty's or early ninety's, They put a plaque of Alexander up on the outside wall of the Post office and had a little ceremony for my grandma and her sister my great -aunt Angie. I was so glad that my grandma got to see and experience that.

You do know that only 5% of Black people came from transatlantic slave trade. The 95% were here & called Indians. Remember explorers thought they were in India. What native Americans look like east Indians? None. East Indians are dark like Black people with a variety of hair textures

Not to detract from the mighty stagecoach Mary Fields Montana mail delivery, but the original saying was spoken about 2500 years ago by the Greek historian, Herodotus, referring to the Persian 9 day mail delivery system that the much later Pony Express used in their 10 day delivery system from St. Joseph MO to Sacramento Cali. The reason it has become identified with the U.S.P.S. is because, back in 1896-97, when the New York City General Post Office was being designed, Mitchell Kendal, an employee for the architectural firm, McKim, Mead and White, came up with the idea of engraving Herodotus’ saying all around the outside of the building.

Brother, I want to thank you for this very comprehensive documentation of some very well-known and little known but not often understood, black cowboys and western heroes. According to historical records, Bass Reeves used to give out silver dollars to those who aided him in his arrests and the horse he rode, was a gray stallion.

An extraordinary accomplishment, this production, in total! Bravo! Keep this team together moving forward. History is alive! It's how things ended up where We The People are NOW and LATER, maybe, maybe not.

Loved this movie!!! Why wasnt it promoted more? Not many have seen it despite the amazing actoers. So many great black cowboys we never hear about and bass reeves was just about one of the most bad ass people to ever live and was the inspiration for the lone ranger. We need these stories to be told and taight to out youth.

Great clip. Can you do William Henderson Foote if you haven't already?? ❤

Great Content

Great essay. There would be no Lone Ranger were it not for Bass Reeves. His genius is only one small bit yet great part of our rich, American Freedmen history. It’s too bad that many skip over this to “go back to Africa.” It’s all good but our American, post-Emancipation ancestors made unbelievable strides.

The "real" Stage Coach Mary had a heart of gold, but make no mistake. She could drink, smoke, chew, cuss, fight, & shoot with the best of them! In one recorded instance an angry patron had argued with her over a laundry bill. The man pulled a pistol & shot her. Enraged, Mary pulled her own & SHOT HIM BACK! Only the town sheriff's intervention stopped the fight before it became a homicide. I believe Mary would've killed him if it had become a full tilt shoot out.

It's cool that it's a black cowboy movie but I grew up near where all these things happened and was excited to see a movie about these folks... unfortunately that's not at all what this movie was. It came off as an exploitation film more than anything and it was definitely nowhere near the truth. Furthest thing from it. Same thing with that Bass Reeves movie. They really screwed that one up. So many good stories that would've been good enough on their own but apparently it's impossible for anyone to make a historically accurate movie... even when the truth is way better than the fiction they still muck it up

Lone ranger is a fake and not true character, someone made him up for television?

The story of black cowboys must be we were heroes and we take a place in history to

Many black Americans are ancestors of Native Americans, Native European Americans, and American Africans. But, many white Americans have the same make-up blood, culture, nationality, and color. Very few people are truly African Americans, and the supper majority are white, who migrated to Americans. Your place of birth determines your nationality...so if you are born in America, that is the 1st nationality I.E. if your ancestors were from Africa, you are American African. If your ancestors are European, you are American European, etc. However, if you are an American Indian you can claim either way you choose. Native American Indian, American Or American Native American Indian So if you're black and your ancestors were from Africa and American, but you were born here, you're American African unless you are Native American Indian. Then you can be American or Indian 1st, but African is last. Same with white people in like circumstances And the same for Mexican- Brown people. All the principles always remain the same. I am Native American - Native American Indian- American European and may be of other nationalities.. I know many of my ancestors, but some still not know. I am proud of everything I know I am. I will be proud of anything I discover now and in the future. People are people. I think all people should advocate for each other. And celibate our differences in culture, nationality, color, and religion. Borders and language and the like. Just be who you are. Be happy with who you are.

Why is this story being told with White cowboys in background? Just curious.

15:06 is not Cherokee Bill.
