An interesting Biography
The real cowboys,pioneers and settlers of the old west sometimes aren't known because of society acceptance during those Times but Bass Reeves life should be taught and He should be revered for his dedication to law enforcement
a nice introduction

Bass Reeves
For as short of a book as this one is, it is fully flushed out considering the vast history of Bass Reeves.
He started out being a slave, then a runaway slave, finally ending up as the first black federal law enforcement officer.
I liked it.

interesting story
I had never heard of Bass Reeves before, but I found his story interesting. From going to former slave and achieving great success as a deputy marshal was a very inspiring story.

Good read
Liked reading this life stories of our, often over-looked African American heroes. Those who enjoy westerns and history, will enjoy this book and maybe learn about someone they never heard of. I did and enjoyed the journey. Well done!

Very informative
I have read several of the books in this series and I always learn something new.
I enjoy the fact you can read them in one sittings or just 2-3 quick chapters before bed.

OPINIONS......OPINIONS !!!!
It is beyond me hoe you can call these books "Hourly History" !!
History should be facts , not opinions.
Like many of these "history" books, this one is filled with the writer's opinions.
It would be nice to read the TRUE history.

A True Legend
Bass Reeves is a true legend of the American West. This a very good summary of his career in law enforcement. Reeves was a man that needs to have his story told and this is a start.

Quite The Hero
His was the stuff legends were made. I enjoyed reading about his marshalling exploits. Led by pure dogged perseverance. I hope there is a larger biography of him and his times. Should be good reading.

Though the book admits that for various reasons not all the information may not be 100% accurate the writing carries the book to the finish line. Interesting, insightful and at times inspirational the life and times of Bass Reeves are laid out for a great read.

Inspiring
It seems that no matter the obstacle, Mr. Reeves continued on. He was and remains a total inspiration, especially to our African-American boys and men.
