Students go on a musical journey with Allan Harris and the Cross That River Band as they go back in time and explore America’s West during the 19th century. Through song, narration, and imagery, students experience an incredible story of triumph as the lives and struggles of African American cowboys are depicted in this song cycle that chronicles their escape from slavery and their journey to freedom in the West. Interweaving fiction with historical fact, each song in the cycle presents a different page in this chapter of American history.
