Gr. 4-7. This unusual collection of brief biographies highlights the considerable achievements of people of mixed Native American and African ancestry. From sculptor to rodeo star to U.S. representative, these portraits of people of color who had to overcome many obstacles are entertaining as well as informative. The quirky, innovative Bill Pickett comes alive as his rodeo act is described in a 1904 Denver newspaper that claimed that "the Texas Negro cowboy . . . twice threw unaided a wild steer with his teeth . . . ." The black-and-white photos and drawings are a bonus and fit right in with the anecdotal style of the narrative. The bibliography should prove helpful to those who would like to know more about these talented pioneers. Denia Hester
