Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
When we try to conjure up images of the Old West, few of us think about African Americans -- much less African-American women. Black Women of The Old West is the saga of the many types who helped settle the frontiers of America. William Lorenz Katz, a longtime chronicler of African-American history, especially that which focuses on the Old West, attempts to enrich the history of African Americans with this book. Regardless of circumstance, African-American women provided much of the moral, spiritual, and social fiber of their communities.
Children's Literature
Pair Buffalo Gals: Women of the Old West with Black Women of the Old West for powerful portraits of the people most histories ignore. Brandon Marie Miller's and William Loren Katz's respective books trace the intrepid women's trials, tribulations and occasional triumphs as they settled into unfamiliar territory, learned to "depend upon themselves to do whatever...was to be done...to face danger when it must be faced," and to press for and gain the right to vote. Personal reminiscences and archival photographs vivify the tastefully designed volumes.

From The Critics
Using old records, newspaper clippings, pioneer reminiscences, and vintage frontier photographs, Katz tells the story of the black women who made their lives in the old west. He tells the story of women who lived with Native Americans, who escaped from slavery, who fought for the Union during the Civil War, and who fought for their rights in the late 50s. This book makes these women's struggles come alive for those of us who didn't even know their struggles had taken place.
