"Vaunda Micheaux Nelson brings Bass Reeves' story to light with vibrant writing, a wealth of resources, and a strong sense of time and place. Reeves had a long, successful career as a renowned lawman, but his story is overshadowed by such contemporaries as Wyatt Earp and Wild Bill Hickok. A glossary explains some of the \u201CWestern\u201D expressions, such as dry-gulch, shooting irons, and tumbleweed wagon; less patient readers might struggle with the unfamiliar expressions, but more likely kids will be drawn in by the sense of adventure. Micheaux doesn't romanticize the Old West, instead giving a gritty account of the hard realities of the late 19th century.\nStrong strokes in the colorful paintings by R. Gregory Christie underscore Reeves\u2019 tough, larger-than-life presence."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
