Publisher's Notes
First Line: "Long before Bill Pickett was born, a wagon train traveled west, all the way from South Carolina. It was 1854. Eager Americans were packing up their belongings and wheeling on to the Great Plains. Some of these pioneers were white folks, looking for a new life in a new land. The rest were black--enslaved people forced to follow their masters."
Industry Reviews
"The text is pleasantly folksly...Brian Pinkney's scratchboard illustrations use white highlights to give a shimmer of heat and glamour to the proceedings as snorting bulls and thundering horses gallop through the pages."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Deborah Stevenson (11/19/1996)
