More than 35,000 cowboys went up the trail between 1865 and 1895. However, despite the popular myth, not all of them were white Anglo-American males. This three-week unit presents little-known information about the 4,000 vaqueros, the 9,000 African-American cowboys, and women who also went on cattle drives. A complete multicultural instructional kit, The Other Cowboys includes all teaching materials necessary for the three-week unit: a Teacher’s Guide, a map, photographs, a poster, a videotape, an audiotape, and chronology cards.
