| Publisher Description: Adventures of Nebraska Wade by Elaine North is the story of an elegant black dressmaker, who travels throughout the Wild West. She experiences fun, intrigue and romance as she meets colorful cowboys and debonair black gents of the Old West. Nebraska Wade's grandfather is a fur trapper, who is a runaway slave that teaches her a world of wisdom. Additional colorful characters include Nebraska's ruthless cowgirl cousin Sally Ann, a black adventurer who negotiates treaties with the Indians for the white man, lawmen, outlaws, cavalrymen, preachers, saloon women, Civil War soldiers, a phony nobleman, and dudes from back East. This novel is historical, eloquent, hilarious and has action packed brawls, duels and shootouts. It depicts dynamic free black people in the western territories. Adventures of Nebraska Wade is Book One of a cowboy trilogy. In Travels in the Western Territories, Book Two, Nebraska searches throughout the Wild West for her husband, nearly dies in the wilderness with the Indians trying to get to Denver, and meets a handsome rascally trickster black cowboy, who is the fastest gun in Arizona Territory. In Book Three, A Lady in the West, the elegant dressmaker travels to San Francisco and Chicago, and visits Paris in the 1880s. |
