Paperback. Zustand: Good. Amarillo became a town in 1887 when merchants opened stores to cater to railroad workers. The first African Americans in the area were Jerry Callaway, who came to the area in 1888 with a white family, and Mathew Bones Hooks, a highly respected cowboy who moved to Amarillo in 1900 and later worked for the railroad.
