The life and adventures of nat love...
Nat Love (pronounced “Nate”) lived the kind of life that adventure novels and blockbuster movies are built on. Freed from slavery at a young age, Love spent most of his career as a cowboy in the American West, and ended it working as a Pullman Porter on the railroads.
Today, his story is being told through a unique theater program.
Love was born on the plantation of Robert Love in Davidson County, Tennessee, in June of When the end of the Civil War brought the abolition of slavery, Nat Love’s father and his family tried to establish a small farm in the area, but it was ultimately unsuccessful.
Love soon left the farming life and headed west to Dodge City, Kansas, looking for work as a cattleman. He was hired by the men of the Duval Ranch in Texas, and it was with them that he began his new life.
