Publisher's summary

Hoofprints on the Canadian is a book that is made up of several short stories about the life and times of African Americans in the West.

Each story has its own hero and villain. The thing that ties them together is the attempt to showcase African Americans in a different light. The stories prove that the color of a man’s skin will not tell you if he is good or bad. It also will not tell you if he is brave or heroic or if he is a sniffling coward.

Several of the stories depict Black outlaws who take on the character of Robin Hood. These are men who strike a blow against society on behalf of the downtrodden. Several stories deal with love and expose it to be what it really is—something that drives men to the brink of insanity and yet they cry out for more. It also deals with the common man who is forced into the limelight simply because he is at the wrong place at the right time.Most of these stories are set in the Indian Territory, now the state of Oklahoma. They help to showcase the rich racial makeup of the state. The fact that all of these men are basically the same—some good and some bad.

Hoofprints on the Canadian is a title that was conceived by the author at the tender age of twelve. It has traveled around the world, sometimes in print and other times in the dark recesses of his mind. At last, these stories will be brought to light for the world to share. To truly access these stories, all you have to do is simply follow the hoofprints left in the soft sand on the banks of the Canadian.
