NEW These incredible black and white photos show the forgotten history of black cowboys who at one point are thought to have made up 25 per cent of the 35,000 cowboys in the Wild West.   The remarkable pictures show black cowboys galloping on horseback, riding flamboyantly in front of adoring crowds and posing proudly in front of the camera. They unmask some of the Old West's most legendary African-American gunslingers and reveal the icons that mixed with the likes of Billy the Kid.
