Michael H. Smith

In  1865, after the American Civil War, One in every four Cowboys in the American West were African Americans.  In the movies, Hollywood never portrayed the Wild West accurately.    Michael H. Smith brings the world of the BLACK COWBOY to life in his engaging look at the heyday of the American Cowboy.  In his first person presentation, you will meet Mathew Hooks, a Cowboy from Texas.  He was a horse breaker, and he was a “remuda” man who took care of the horses of the cowboys on their many cattle drives. With stories and songs, you ride a long with Mathew Hooks and the REAL AMERICAN WEST!
