The Conquest: The Story Of A Negro Pioneer is a historical autobiography written by Oscar Micheaux and published in 1913. The book tells the story of a young African American man named Oscar Devereaux, who leaves his home in Illinois in search of a better life in the West. The book follows Oscar's journey as he faces racism and discrimination, but also encounters opportunities and successes. Throughout the book, Oscar shares his experiences of working as a cowboy, homesteading, and starting his own business. He also reflects on the challenges he faced as a black man in a predominantly white society. The Conquest is a powerful and inspiring account of one man's determination to overcome adversity and achieve his dreams. It is also an important historical document that sheds light on the experiences of African Americans during the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
