Bad News for Outlaws : the Remarkable Life of Bass Reeves, Deputy U.S. Marshal

by Vaunda Michaeux Nelson

Bass Reeves was born a slave but escaped to Indian Territory. After the war he became one of Judge Parker's finest marshals. Nelson honors the memory of this long forgotten larger-than-life western hero with this well written biography. A boldly illustrated picture book divided into short time period chapters filled with colorful language and interesting facts. Educators may appreciate the Discussion Guide available on the Lerner website.

5 of 5 Stars - Highly Recommended.
