I also read that so I think yes with the caveat that the conception of "cowboy" as some sort of gun-slinging mercenary or hero is a romanticized notion as part of revisionist history pushed by for example Hollywood. I'm sure there were gun-slinging black cowboys and Mexican ones as well. But most of them weren't getting into Magnificent Seven or John Wayne or Randolph Scott stuff. They were just herding cattle and doing other farm stuff and fending off the occasional problem but not riding rough to genocide Indians or spending their time taking down outlaws or avenge their kin in a blood feud.
