Experience a slice of Black history with the adventures of 10-year-old Blaze Barton on his first cattle drive. This exciting tale is inspired by the forgotten history of African-American cowboys who made up one in four of the hard-working men who drove cattle across America.

Readers will be transported into the rugged world of cowboys as they drive 600 herds of cattle across 250 miles from Papa’s ranch in Texas all the way to Kansas. Your kids will be able to imagine themselves alongside Blaze prepping food with his Gramps, catching wild rabbits, wrangling the horses at night and writing in his journal to keep a record for his teacher.

When a lightning storm scares the herd into a stampede, young Blaze experiences first-hand the dangers of life on the trail and discovers what it takes to become a real cowboy.
