Coal: The action-packed western that inspired 'Django Unchained'

A young Black man rises from the brutal depths of slavery to deliver a long-overdue reckoning in this relentless Western classic. Justice has a new name: El Diablo Negrito-and if you've wronged him or his people, he's coming for you. Since the age of six, Coal has been chained under the iron fist of his master, the notorious gunfighter Solomon Pinkney. When Pinkney sells Coal's mother and sister, Coal draws faster than his teacher-and leaves him dead in the dust.
Fueled by a determination to free the enslaved and protect the innocent, Coal rides across the frontier with an unerring aim and a reputation that grows with every encounter. Soon, they call him the Black Devil-the fastest, most formidable gunslinger between Texas and Mexico. J. Jason Grant is the author of Coal, the seminal Black Western set in the 1800s Wild West
