ePub Racism without Racists: Color-Blind Racism and the Persistence of Racial Inequality in America by Eduardo Bonilla-Silva in History

Description

From the first account of “Colter’s Run;” published in 1810; fascination with John Colter; one of America’s most famous and yet least known frontiersmen and discoverer of Yellowstone Park; has never waned. Unlike other legends of the era like Daniel Boone; Davy Crockett; and Kit Carson; Colter has remained elusive because he left not a single letter; diary; or reminiscence. Gathering the available evidence and guiding readers through a labyrinth of hearsay; rumor; and myth; two Colter experts for the first time tell the whole story of Colter and his legend.
