Cowboys, I would later learn, were white men who rode through towns with reckless abandon and left a trail of destruction behind them. It felt like we were celebrating the lives of men who had often terrorized their way through native communities in the West. Little did I know there were groups in nearby Compton who were actively trying to reinsert black cowboys into the history books.īut something always seemed a bit off. The history of the West until that point had appeared exclusively white. Sanders, a black woman and my favorite teacher, never once mentioned black cowboys. We were taught that they rode through trails, herded cattle, and occasionally got into gunfights with bandits and Native Americans. The only cowboys we learned about were white.

The new space is a former mortuary, and the mid-1800s building has never been used for a restaurant before, so it’s going to take a lot of work to get it up and running, Shader said. The amount of tourists coming to and from the mountains is great, and the bonus is everything happening with the CoorsTek project and how that will change Golden in the next few years.” Ross Vassar pulls a pizza pie out of the oven at Fat Sully’s on E. “Golden is a hot place to live, and it really covers us too for Arvada and Lakewood and gives us a Western location far enough from Tennyson,” said Atomic Provisions owner Drew Shader.
