‘A true story of a negro who was discontented’: Oscar Micheaux’s lightly fictionalised account follows a young man who leaves home, works as a Pullman porter and goes west to homestead on the Rosebud lands of South Dakota. He breaks sod, deals in mules, watches towns fight for the railroad and courts across the colour line and back home.
