The Legend of Bass Reeves
Gary Paulsen, Random House c2006 137 pages.
Great historical fiction for intermediate and older. An informational read for any unit on the West from 1830-1890.
This is the story of Bass Reeves, a slave who became a US Marshall. The hardest thing he had to do was arrest his own son for murdering his wife. The book shows the West as it reaaly was and dispels some of the myths about that time in our history
