RE: The Chuck Wagon: A Spot of Comfort on the Trail.

I had no idea there were black cowboys! How cool! I will check out your series on them. How did you get interested in old photos and writing on them?

Yes, I am new and still trying to figure stuff out. I am sure I will have more questions. I have asked the Farmer tons of questions. The Farmer’s Wife and I used to sing together and we are friends with them.

Thanks for reaching out and I look forward to interacting on here!

Well, if you are friends of the Farmers then you don't need me, they are doing GREAT!
But is your mom in Akron, OH?
where are you?
we moved from Akron almost 3 years ago.
where did you sing with thefarmerswife? don't tell me she is from Ohio?howdy today @iambraveandfree! so good to hear from you again. Yes Ma'am many people are surprised to learn that there were Black Cowboys, in fact the famous Cattle Drives were composed 30% of Blacks because they were freed from slavery after the Civil War and many went to work for ranchers.
