The Lesser-Known History of African-American Cowboys

One in four cowboys was black. So why aren’t they more present in popular culture?

In his 1907 autobiography, cowboy Nat Love recounts stories from his life on the frontier so cliché, they read like scenes from a John Wayne film. He describes Dodge City, Kansas, a town smattered with the romanticized institutions of the frontier: “a great many saloons, dance halls, and gambling houses, and very little of anything else.” He moved massive herds of cattle from one grazing area to another, drank with Billy the Kid and participated in shootouts with Native peoples defending their land on the trails. And when not, as he put it, “engaged in fighting Indians,” he amused himself with activities like “dare-devil riding, shooting, roping and such sports.

This 60 ton Giant stone sphere was found in Bosnia (2016 ?). There used to be 80 of these stone balls in Bosnia, but most of them were destroyed when rumors started circling among locals that gold was hidden inside them. Just eight remain now (probably many more), with the latest discovery being the largest. The brown and red color of the ball may indicate to very high content of the iron. Some claim the ball is manmade because it is near the location of the Bosnia Pyramids. This is probably not true.
