Bill Pickett of the 101 Ranch, orobably the greatest cowboy of them all, was a black man.
Bill Pickett and his famous horse, Spradley
(you can tell Spradley by his small star on the forehead. Pickett sometimes rode a chestnut with a large white blaze and two white hind feet, but that wasn't Spradley.)

"A small cache of perforated and disfigured coins was found beneath the floorboards; the people of this mining frontier town likely believed those coins could be transformed into objects of supernatural control. "
Where did this specious piece of information come from. These were American Blacks, as American as any cowboy that roamed the range. They act like these were Hatians straight off the boat with Voodoo trappings. Most of these prosperous blacks were Chrisitans just like 90% of the population.
