Description
This biography profiles the life of Bass Reeves, a former slave who was recruited as a deputy United States Marshall by Judge Isaac Parker to bring law and order to the territory that was to become Oklahoma. Bass had a strong sense of right and wrong and would always try to capture a criminal without violence. He always got his man and his very name struck fear in outlaws, sometimes even causing them to give themselves up.
Description
Born into slavery in 1838, Bass had a hard and violent life, but he also had a strong sense of right and wrong that others admired. When Judge Isac Parker tried to bring law and order to lawless Indian Territory, he chose Bass to be a deputy U.S. marshall.
