Bass Reeves Frontier Marshal Volume 1 By Gary Phillips Kindle Edition Mystery Thrillers Bass Reeves Frontier Marshal Volume 1 TALES OF A WESTERN LEGEND He began his life as a slave. During the Civil War he escaped and lived among the Indians of the Five Civilized Tribes in the Oklahoma Territories. He learned to ride, shoot and track prey from his adopted people. When the war ended, he was recruited as one of the first black marshals in the history of the west. In a thirty year career, operating under the authority of Judge Parker out of Fort Smith, he captured over three thousand outlaws, was involved in fourteen major gun battles and never wounded once. At the ended of his career, he became a Deputy Sheriff in Tuskegee until his death at the age of 70. He is considered the greatest western lawman that ever lived. Writers Gary Phillips, Mel Odom, Andrew Salmon and Derrick Ferguson have whipped up four action packed adventures inspired by this legendary figure. Tales of a wild frontier where outlaws and renegades roamed freely until the coming of one amazing man who wore a badge and vowed to bring justice to one and all. He was Bass Reeves—Frontier Marshal.

A real and very rare African American deputy United States marshal who served during the late 1800s Every story is a winner even if the first story s conclusion is rushed a little Solidly recommended I look forward to reading Volume 2 Stuart Gauffi s gravel voice is perfect Bass Reeves Frontier Marshal Volume 1 Fantastic fictionalized pulp stories about the single greatest lawman Western America has ever seen I only hope we get volumes of these anthologies Bass Reeves Frontier Marshal Volume 1 It s about damn time I forget where I first heard about Bass Reeves I think he was a small mention in a half hour long documentary on lawmen of the Wild West or something but that small featurette was enough to get me curious.
