Black Men and Women of the Old West - Sociological Images
Black Men and Women of the Old West by Lisa Wade While the quintessential Old West “cowboy” is White in most imaginations, in fact there were Black pioneers in the west during the wild days (usually dated mid-1800s till the end of the century). According to wikipedia, thousands of Black men and women lived in mostly segregated communities in the West, but participated in all society. They were traders, miners, cowboys, and of course, outlaws.

GUNFIGHTERS: Billy Brooks Gunfighters were a unique Western frontier product and a breed of their own—neither outlaw nor lawman but often either or both during their lifetime. This photo of Billy Brooks depicts a typical gunfighter of the 1870s, and he fit the mold: he was a lawman in Newton and Ellsworth, Kansas, a gunfighter in Dodge City—before any of those towns became “cowtowns”—and he died at the end of a rope in 1874 as a horse thief.

Deadly Outlaw Wild Bill Longley
William "Wild Bill" Longley, considered one of the fastest & deadliest gunfighters in the old west. Known by some as "Bloody Bill." He was from a respectable family but his hot temper, fondness for liquor, & unsettled conditions during reconstruction led him to be one of the most daring gunslingers of his day. He is said to have killed 32 persons before his capture in 1877. He was hanged in Giddings TX in 1878.
