In vivid, poetic prose, Lester tells the tale of cowboy Bob Lemmons, a story he first told in 'Long Journey Home: Stories from Black History'. A former slave with no formal education, Lemmons possessed the unusual ability to bring in a herd of wild mustangs alone. Pinkney's magnificent earth-toned paintings bring to life the wild beauty of the horses and the western plains.
