Black Gun, Silver Star The Life and Legend of
Frontier Marshal Bass Reeves (Race and Ethnicity
in the American West) Paperback â September 1,
2022
In The Story of Oklahoma, Deputy U.S. Marshal
Bass Reeves appears as the âœmost feared
U.S. marshal in the Indian country.â? That
Reeves was also an African American who had spent
his early life enslaved in Arkansas and Texas
made his accomplishments all the more remarkable.
Black Gun, Silver Star sifts through fact and
legend to discover the truth about one of the
most outstanding peace officers in late
nineteenth-century Americaâand perhaps the
greatest lawman of the Wild West era. Bucking the
odds (âœIâm sorry, we didnât keep Black
peopleâs history,â? a clerk at one of
Oklahomaâs local historical societies answered
one query), Art T. Burton traces Reeves from his
days of slavery to his Civil War soldiering to
his career as a deputy U.S. marshal out of Fort
Smith, Arkansas, when he worked under âœHanging
Judgeâ? Isaac C. Parker. Fluent in Creek and
other regional 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.
In this new edition Burton traces Reevesâs
presence in the national media of his day as well
as his growing modern presence in popular media
such as television, movies, comics, and video
games.
