Black in the Saddle, From African Cavalries to Modern Cowboys (1 book series)
Paperback Edition
by Louis Hook (Author) , Randy Savvy (Foreword)

Black in the Saddle: From African Cavalries to Modern Cowboys is Volume I in a seven-part series that reclaims the erased legacy of Black cowboys in American history. With a Foreword by Randy Savvy, founder of the Compton Cowboys, this sweeping narrative connects the equestrian mastery of African empires to the rise of Black cowboys in the American West and their powerful resurgence today.

Author Louis C. Hook—also known as the Educated Hood Rat—examines the African origins of horsemanship, the role of enslaved equestrians in colonial and plantation economies, and the erasure of Black contributions to western expansion, law enforcement, and frontier settlement. This volume provides a foundational overview of the complete series and demonstrates how today’s urban riders and rodeo cowboys carry on a tradition rooted in ancient Black cavalry empires.

Whether you're a historian, a student, or a modern cowboy, this book challenges long-held myths, reclaims buried truths, and invites readers to ride forward in celebration of Black equestrian excellence.

—This isn’t just history. It’s a movement.
