"Bad News for Outlaws the Remarkable Life of Bass Reeves, Deputy U.S. Marshal" by Vaunda Micheaux Nelson

RATING:  TWO THUMBS UP!

REVIEW: 

     This is an excellent biography about Bass Reeves.  He was chosen to be a deputy U.S. Marshal to bring law and order to the Indian territory.  He made more than 3,000 arrests and only killed fourteen men in the line of duty.  He was born into slavery and had a hard life in the 1830's.  But he always chose to be honest and fair.  He is remembered as a hero of the Old West.  
     I enjoyed this book because of the content and the illustrations. The illustrations had rich colors that allowed readers to become apart of the Old Wild West!
