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

4.0

This picture book biography tells the little-known story of Bass Reeves, a deputy marshal in the Wild West. In a time and place where outlaws and bandits terrorized people, Reeves arrested more than three thousand men and women, avoiding violence if at all possible. With plenty of Wild West action in addition to biographical information, this book combines kid appeal with literary merit. I still don't particularly care for Christie's illustrations, though.
