That Reeves was also an African American who had spent his early life as a slave in Arkansas and Texas makes his accomplishments all the more remarkable. 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 a query), Art T. Burton 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. 001374262 5208_ $$aFluent in Creek and other southern Native languages, physically powerful, skilled with firearms, and a master of disguise, Reeves was exceptionally adept at apprehending fugitives and outlaws, and his exploits were legendary in Oklahoma and Arkansas. A finalist for the 2007 Spur Award, sponsored by the Western Writers of America, Black Gun, Silver Star tells Bass Reeves's story for the first time and restores this remarkable figure to his rightful place in the history of the American West. 001374262 60010 $$aReeves, Bass. 001374262 60017 $$aReeves, Bass.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01627382 001374262 650_0 $$aUnited States marshals$$zIndian Territory$$vBiography. 001374262 650_0 $$aUnited States marshals$$zOklahoma$$vBiography. 001374262 650_0 $$aAfrican Americans$$zOklahoma$$vBiography. 001374262 650_0 $$aAfrican American police$$zOklahoma$$vBiography. 001374262 650_0 $$aFrontier and pioneer life$$zIndian Territory. 001374262 650_0 $$aFrontier and pioneer life$$zOklahoma. 001374262 650_7 $$aAfrican American police.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00799305 001374262 650_7 $$aAfrican Americans.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00799558 001374262 650_7 $$aFrontier and pioneer life.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00935370 001374262 650_7 $$aUnited States marshals.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01161507 001374262 651_0 $$aIndian Territory$$vBiography. 001374262 651_0 $$aOklahoma$$vBiography. 001374262 651_7 $$aOklahoma.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01205031 001374262 651_7 $$aOklahoma$$zIndian Territory.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01225150 001374262 655_7 $$aBiographies.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01919896 001374262 655_7 $$aBiographies.$$2lcgft 001374262 830_0 $$aRace and ethnicity in the American West. 001374262 852__ $$bgen$$hF697.R44$$iB87 2008 001374262 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1374262$$pGLOBAL_SET 001374262 980__ $$aBOOK 001374262 980__ $$aBIB
