Book Synopsis The Legend of Bass Reeves by : Gary Paulsen
Download or read book The Legend of Bass Reeves written by Gary Paulsen and published by Laurel Leaf. This book was released on 2008-12-30 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born into slavery, Bass Reeves became the most successful US Marshal of the Wild West. Many "heroic lawmen" of the Wild West, familiar to us through television and film, were actually violent scoundrels and outlaws themselves. But of all the sheriffs of the frontier, one man stands out as a true hero: Bass Reeves. He was the most successful Federal Marshal in the US in his day. True to the mythical code of the West, he never drew his gun first. He brought hundreds of fugitives to justice, was shot at countless times, and never hit. Bass Reeves was a black man, born into slavery. And though the laws of his country enslaved him and his mother, when he became a free man he served the law, with such courage and honor that he became a legend.
Book Synopsis Black Gun, Silver Star by : Art T. Burton
Download or read book Black Gun, Silver Star written by Art T. Burton and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2022-09 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Story of Oklahoma, Deputy U.S. Marshal Bass Reeves appears as the "most feared U.S. marshal in the Indian country." That Reeves was also an African American who had spent his early life enslaved in Arkansas and Texas made his accomplishments all the more remarkable. Black Gun, Silver Star sifts through fact and legend to discover the truth about one of the most outstanding peace officers in late nineteenth-century America--and perhaps the greatest lawman of the Wild West era. Bucking the odds ("I'm sorry, we didn't keep Black people's history," a clerk at one of Oklahoma's local historical societies answered one query), Art T. Burton traces Reeves from his days of slavery to his Civil War soldiering to his career as a deputy U.S. marshal out of Fort Smith, Arkansas, when he worked under "Hanging Judge" Isaac C. Parker. Fluent in Creek and other regional Native languages, physically powerful, skilled with firearms, and a master of disguise, Reeves was exceptionally adept at apprehending fugitives and outlaws and his exploits were legendary in Oklahoma and Arkansas. In this new edition Burton traces Reeves's presence in the national media of his day as well as his growing modern presence in popular media such as television, movies, comics, and video games.
Book Synopsis Follow the Angels, Follow the Doves by : Sidney Thompson
Download or read book Follow the Angels, Follow the Doves written by Sidney Thompson and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2020-03 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Follow the Angels, Follow the Doves is an origin story in the true American tradition. Before Bass Reeves could stake his claim as the most successful nineteenth-century American lawman, arresting more outlaws than any other deputy during his thirty-two-year career as a deputy U.S. marshal in some of the most dangerous regions of the Wild West, he was a slave. After a childhood picking cotton, he became an expert marksman under his master’s tutelage, winning shooting contests throughout the region. His skill had serious implications, however, as the Civil War broke out. Reeves was given to his master’s mercurial, sadistic, Moby-Dick-quoting son in the hopes that Reeves would keep him safe in battle. The ensuing humiliation, love, heroics, war, mind games, and fear solidified Reeves’s determination to gain his freedom and drew him one step further on his fated path to an illustrious career. Follow the Angels, Follow the Doves is an important historical work that places Reeves in the pantheon of American heroes and a thrilling historical novel that narrates a great man’s exploits amid the near-mythic world of the nineteenth-century frontier.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adapted for the Paramount+ miniseries Lawmen: Bass Reeves, directed by Taylor Sheridan and starring David Oyelowo 2022 Oklahoma Book Award Finalist for Fiction 2021 National Indie Excellence Award Finalist Set in 1884, Hell on the Border tells the story of Deputy U.S. Marshal Bass Reeves at the peak of his historic career. Famous for being a crack shot as well as for his nonviolent tendencies, Reeves uses his African American race to his strategic advantage. Along with a tramp or cowboy disguise, Reeves appears so nonthreatening that he often positions himself close enough to the outlaws he is pursuing to arrest them without bloodshed. After a series of heroic feats of capturing and killing infamous outlaws--most notably Jim Webb--and an introduction to Belle Starr, Reeves finds himself in the Fort Smith jail, charged with murder. This second book in the Bass Reeves Trilogy investigates what really happened when Reeves made the greatest mistake of his life on the heels of his greatest achievements.

Book Synopsis Bass Reeves and the Lone Ranger by : Martin Grams, Jr.
Download or read book Bass Reeves and the Lone Ranger written by Martin Grams, Jr. and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-01-20 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For almost a decade there circulates a myth that falsely suggested an African-American U.S. Deputy Marshal named Bass Reeves was the inspiration for the fictional character of The Lone Ranger. Triggered by recent folklore and influenced by racial bias, the myth spread across the internet like wildfire. While the real life of Bass Reeves deserves to be better-known, it is unfortunate that this fanciful "Lone Ranger" theory is what has brought him additional attention. A book published a decade ago caused unnecessary confusion by falsely suggesting Reeves was the inspiration of the fictional Lone Ranger. (i.e. Reeves rode a white horse as one flimsy connection.) This book documents the origin of The Lone Ranger through historical archives from across the country, with scanned reprints of the most important of documents, proving that three individuals, living in two different states, were responsible for the formation of The Lone Ranger, and proof that the Masked Man was intentionally patterned off of Robin Hood and Tom Mix, debunking the myth that one person deliberately created a children's program in the local Detroit area in 1933 on a historical figure that had never been referenced in books or magazines until the late 1950s. For people who insist Bass Reeves was the inspiration, and have no archival documents to back up their facts, this book provides a superb opportunity to understand why historians across the country have been debating for so long -- Bass Reeves was never the inspiration for The Lone Ranger.

Engaged to the handsomest man in her tribe, adored by her family, and fortunate enough to live in a beautiful village, it never occurred to her that it could all be taken away in an instant. But that was what happened when her village was invaded by slave traders. Her family was brutally murdered as she was dragged away to a slave ship and sent to be sold in the Carolinas. There she was bought by a plantation owner and given to his son as a "birthday present". Now, survival is all Amari can dream about. As she struggles to hold on to her memories, she also begins to learn English and make friends with a white indentured servant named Molly. When an opportunity to escape presents itself, Amari and Molly seize it, fleeing South to the Spanish colony in Florida at Fort Mose. Along the way, their strength is tested like never before as they struggle against hunger, cold, wild animals, hurricanes, and people eager to turn them in for reward money.

Book excerpt: On February 8, 2006, Frank Vetro, the young, popular principal of a school in eastern Long Island, saw his life dramatically altered. On that day, he was arrested and effectively labeled a terrorist who had hidden under the guise of a New York educator. In Standing on Principal, he shares his personal story, detailing his arrest, his nights in jail, the court proceedings, and the subsequent fight to clear his name after the alleged scandal was nurtured into the national limelight. Now he recounts the injustice, and the lack of integrity of individuals who allowed the destruction of his life without a moment's concern for fairness or truth. Telling a real-life story of deception and scandal, Standing on Principal exposes rogue elements of a system that underestimated the tenacious character of its accused and shows how Vetro sacrificed everything as he refused to be intimidated by a political machine.
