It is a fact, although unsure of how “well known” it may be, that one out of every three American cowboys was black. They had a major part in the spread and development of the West as well as in the growth and development of the country in the wars with their part in the Buffalo Soldiers. There is so much to learn about African Americans in the West throughout the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. They held positions as homesteaders, ranchers, blacksmiths, miners, schoolteachers, and even lawmen in the days of the development of the West and even settled Dearfield, Colorado, an all black pioneer town including about 500 residents. The history of Dearfield is hosted in the Homestead exhibit of the Black American West Museum. Other sections of the museum include the Cowboy Exhibit and the Military Exhibit. There are plenty of items from that era including clothing, tools, and other personal artifacts dedicated to the preservation of the memory of these brave individuals who to no limitations of the color of their skin, moved forward in time aiding in the future development of the West through their hard work and immense vision. The museum is located in the private residence of the late Dr. Justina Ford, Colorado’s first black female doctor. The museum is packed with entertaining and educational exhibits, movies, and all the reading material on the subject one could muster. The Black American West Museum is a great place to take the cowboy lovers in the family for some highly interesting, educational entertainment. Guests of the museum could help themselves to a showing of a movie after visiting all of the exhibits featuring Herbert Jeffries, a famous singing black cowboy made famous by his appearance in Western movies. Make your way to the Black American West Museum for a great time!
There are plenty of sights to see in Denver, Colorado. One of the most interesting and well known attractions of the Mile High City has got to be Buffalo Bill Museum & Grave located on the side of Lookout Mountain. With its amazing views of the plains, the mountain sides, and the lush forest surrounding the area Buffalo Bill’s grave is one of the most beautiful vantage points of this countryside. Witness a piece of American history in this wonderful little museum featuring the history of William “Buffalo Bill” Cody through the years of his existence serving as not only a scout during the Indian Wars but also as an advocate for the equality of his past foes, the Native Americans. There is a nice array of historical items from Bill’s life featuring items he actually owned. Peppered among these interesting items are advertisements, posters, and other media which were used to promote his work as an entertainer during his Wild West Expositions. Buffalo Bill was an amazing performer who pulled out all the stops when it came to entertaining the people. Being a very charismatic and electrifying individual made his exploits seem that much grander on stage as a performer as well as in his actual life. This status helped the growth of Buffalo Bill’s legend throughout history. Aside from the Buffalo Bill story, his time as a performer, his time with the “Americans” (natives), and his death bed, there is also a pretty extensive collection of firearms and weaponry used by Buffalo Bill and the other Wild Westerners as well as weaponry from the Native American side. This museum has a lot to see and hit’s people with a deep rooted appreciation for the Wild West cowboys and Indians genre.
