Synopsis

A story about a lawman, a solitary soul living in an age where the world was closing in all around him. New settlers were arriving more and more each day. All here to get rich, but most simply die trying to.
Thieves and highwaymen infest the West, and the west is where the gold is at. The gold is all a man needs, or so it seems. No amount of gold matter! If you out here on these plains come first frost, and you ain’t got it together.
Well, history goes on, doesn’t it?
Law! hell, when it came to the law, your gun had to be quicker and more accurate than most. You must have some cunning about yourself, or end up laid out like them pilgrims who weren’t prepared.
Well, God did send Bass Reeves, yes, Bass Reeves. Where do you think the character “The Lone Ranger” came from? Look here, this man could fire from both hands equally as deadly and accurate. His steady grip on his rifle enabled Bass to, as he put it, “Break a neck” at distances of 200 yards free-standing.
No sir! Belle Star herself got word that Bass had her bounty, and she turned herself in to the authorities.
This book is about that man! With my spin on the story.
Hey! It’s not a documentary, but you’re gonna love it!
