Black Infantry in the West
This book covers the less famous "buffalo soldier" reigments, black US Army units, serving on the 19th century trans-Mississippi frontier. The 24th and 25 th Infantry were composed of African-american enlisted men and commanded by white officers. Their missions were often less harzardous than the horse mounted comrads but they covered themselves in glory nonetheless. I would recommend this book as a very readable general hiustory of a little known aspect of American history.

Rowdy Joe Lowe
This is a well written biography of a little know Western character. Such men a "Rowdy Joe" Lowe made up the fabric of the Old West. Both authors have now gone to their last round-up but they have left a historical legacy as colorful as Joe himself.
