CONCLUSION:
As a scholar I feel like I did a great research in showing my readers that African American cowboys do exist and their impact in this nation was very significant. Many of the people I listed shape this nation in their own way. There was also a few female pioneers like Mary Fields I neglect to mention. Nevertheless the pioneers that shaped this nation are very important when talking about the western frontier.
