BLACK AMERICAN WEST MUSEUM (1971- )

Paul W.

Stewart, founder of the Black American West Museum, grew up in Iowa playing cowboys and Indians with his friends who always made him play an Indian.

They assured him that there were no black cowboys and thus he had to play the role of the Indian.

As an adult living in Denver, Stewart discovered this was not true and began a lifetime search for stories, photographs, clothing, memorabilia, and papers to document the existence of black cowboys in the West.
