Black Gun, Silver Star

by Arthur T. Burton

Factual account of the first black Deputy U.S. Marshal to work for Judge Issiac Parker, the reputed "hanging judge" in Fort Smith, Ark. Bass Reeves was over 6 ft. tall, an expert shot, an acknowledged tracker, and he almost always got his man, no matter how long it took. Bad men avoided him when they could.
