the journal of joshua loper, 16 April 2005
A Kid's Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Journal of Joshua Loper: A Black Cowboy (My Name Is America) (Hardcover)
Wow! If you're looking for a Wild West book, this is the one. I'm sure you'll love how the story leads off, and how it ends. This story begins when a teenager reaches the age to go on a cattle trip, and is totally psyched, but did not know what was In store for him. What he learns is
Simple;
1.AIM BEFORE YOU SHOOT 2.HOW TO ROPE A CATTLE.
This is also a very touching, and emotional story, but Joshua puts it together perfectly. The part in this story that I liked the most was when they reached a town called; Abilence. Abilence is a rough town where you're sure to get in a fight ,and you wont be disappointed! Joshua goes through some rough times but makes it through the whole trip. I give this book a 5 out of 5.

Joshua Loper Reveiw, 5 May 2004
By Chris - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Journal of Joshua Loper: A Black Cowboy (My Name Is America) (Hardcover)
This story is based after the civil war. Joshua and Doom are the only black people on the herd. They start out in the very back at drags but joshua moves to the front when one man slips up. There are some you could say sad parts like when joshuas horse dies but there are some good parts like when he is asked to go on another trail from texas to oregon.

OKAY BUT NOT GREAT!, 26 April 2002
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Journal of Joshua Loper: A Black Cowboy (My Name Is America) (Hardcover)
I read all of this MY NAME IS AMERICA book. But like some of the other books in this series, it lacked excitement, suspense, and was not entirely accurate. I did not feel that the book was written by a 16 yr. old cowboy, though it kept my interest and gives children a feeling of what it was like to live in the 19th century. Much better and more accurate historical novels are THE JOURNEY OF LEROY JONES, A FUGITIVE SLAVE and THE DIARY OF A SLAVE GIRL, RUBY JO.
