Frontiersman, scout, James P. Beckwourth is credited with discovering the most accessible route into northern California in the 1800''s, known today as the Beckwourth Pass. Named a chief of the Crow Nation, Jim Beckwourth''s many feats and accomplishments have gone largely unsung in American history. Who among us grew up reading about the black Daniel Boone? A wonderful immersion into the life and character of one of America''s best, told with wit, honesty, and great story-telling style. By making obscure but important history come alive, this play is a good vehicle for school touring or a way to introduce history in a novel way to classes. By the co-author of the very popular Winning Monologues From The Beginnings Workshop as seen on the Bravo television network.
