"The dedication of this book in split seven ways: to Jessica, to David, to Kenzie, to Di, to Anne, and to you, if you have stuck with Harry until the end."

A short children's book about the life and career of Bass Reeves, a man born into slavery who served a long time as a deputy marshal hunting down criminals in Indian Territory. It has all the adventurous hallmarks of Western fiction with an emphasis on Bass Reeves upstanding moral character.
I find myself interested in learning more about him.
Book review catch-up post 2 of 5:
This wasn't for me. As I said in one of our #kindredspiritsbuddyread discussions, it's a lot of wandering around in the woods occasionally interrupted by horrible violence. The "bad Indians" were bad because they were of a savage tribe, while the "good Indians" were held to a higher standard than the whites in both ethics and competency. The ending was a shocking disappointment.
Needed something different so I went with pirates and magic. Did not disappoint. Highly recommend.
Starting in on this. It's gonna be good. It's always good when they start with maps. #fantasy
Every day should be a reading in a hammock day! @DeweysReadathon #readathon #deweysreadathon
Totally over the top, and ultimately it probably won't stay with me for long. But I needed something mindlessly entertaining and engaging, and this certainly fit the bill. And, quite frankly, I could happily listen to Raul Esparza read the phone book for 8 hours. So it gets a pick for being the easy book distraction my brain needed!
