《儿童读物杂志》(Horn Book)书评
Straightforward prose chronicles the important contributions African Americans made to the explorations of the West, often under difficult and dangerous situations. With 'manifest destiny' as its backdrop, the volume erases entrenched myths of western settlement as it firmly establishes the central role of black pioneers. Black-and-white photographs are included in the unattractively designed volume. Includes appendix and chronology. Bib., ind. From HORN BOOK 1997, (c) Copyright 2010.
