Jackson Sundown, by Doris Fisher and Sarah Cotton
Visit the rodeo in this book about Montana native, Jackson Sundown, who entered his first rodeo at the age of 49. His rodeo skills ended him up in the National Cowboy Hall of Fame.
Jackson’s life begins with a challenging upbringing, as a member of the Nez Perce tribe he was in an attack by the U.S. Army Cavalry and escaped only through his horsemanship skills. This picture book of Montana’s first Native American bronco-buster is sure to delight children who love horses and Big Sky Country.
Fearless Mary: Mary Fields, American Stagecoach Driver, by Tami Charles and Claire Almon
From first Native American rodeo cowboy, we move to another book about a Montana first: Mary Fields became the first African-American stagecoach driver in 1895. To earn her job, she outperformed all others on her speed hitching 6 horses to her carriage. Stagecoach driving required her to deliver the mail over long distances, and she never lost a package. Her presence in Montana’s badlands, and the skill of her deliveries, paved the way for other African Americans in the postal delivery field.
