Summary

Dive into the life of Nat Love, an individual who lived through extraordinary circumstances. Born into slavery, raised as a cowboy, and later working as a Pullman Porter, his life story is nothing short of fascinating. Despite experiencing ownership akin to a farm animal due to his skin color and later sharing an equal footing with his white coworkers, Love shockingly harbored strong prejudices of his own. He held deep-seated racist views towards Indians and Mexicans, often expressing these beliefs through violent actions. His life was a paradox, even falling in love with a Mexican girl whom he conveniently considered Spanish. Nat Love, a remarkable character who lived in equally remarkable times, penned an autobiography that leaves us yearning for more detail and depth.
