High Noon Talk: Deadwood Dick

Event Details

Like all ranch hands and riders, African American cowboys lived hard, dangerous lives. But Black drovers were expected to do the roughest, most dangerous work — and to do it without complaint. Join Michael Searles, author of the new book Black Cowboys of the American West, for a talk on Nat Love, a formerly enslaved man who became a cowboy and whose life story and legendary exploits inspired numerous books and films.

High Noon Talks highlight interesting and often untold topics through a casual lunch-time lecture.
