Black Cowboy, Wild Horses: A True Story

40 pp. January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-8037-1787-3 | Library ISBN 0-8037-1788-1
(2) K-3 In vivid, poetic prose, Lester tells the tale of cowboy Bob Lemmons, a story he first told in 'Long Journey Home: Stories from Black History'. A former slave with no formal education, Lemmons possessed the unusual ability to bring in a herd of wild mustangs alone. Pinkney's magnificent earth-toned paintings bring to life the wild beauty of the horses and the western plains.
