Bass Reeves Frontier Marshal Volume 2 - Legendary Lawman Returns
This second volume in the Bass Reeves series delivers four action-packed western adventures featuring the greatest lawman of the untamed frontier. Bass Reeves, a U.S. Deputy Marshal operating in the years following the Civil War, captured over 3,000 felons during his actual career and survived fourteen gun battles without a single wound.
Four New Western Adventures
Writers Milton Davis, Mel Odom, Michael Black, and Derrick Ferguson have crafted four new stories that showcase Bass Reeves at his finest. In this volume, the Deputy Marshal teams up with Quickshot Katy, a formidable gunfighter, pursues desperate train robbers across dangerous territory, protects a critical army gold shipment from outlaws, and defends a convicted killer against mob justice in a town demanding blood.
The Historical Bass Reeves
An ex-slave who took up the silver badge, Bass Reeves believed all men to be equal in the eyes of the law. This conviction drove him to become one of the most effective agents of justice in the American West. A crack shot with both rifle and pistol, his reputation as a manhunter was unmatched in the frontier territories.
What's Inside This Volume
This paperback collection from Airship 27 continues the ongoing series chronicling Bass Reeves' exploits as a frontier lawman. Each story captures the danger, action, and moral complexity of law enforcement in the post-Civil War wilderness, where justice often came at the end of a gun barrel and survival required both skill and courage.
The four tales in Volume 2 showcase different aspects of frontier law enforcement, from high-stakes train robberies to the protection of government assets and the difficult balance between legal justice and mob rule. Quickshot Katy adds a dynamic new element to the stories, proving that frontier justice wasn't exclusively a man's domain.
Perfect For Readers Who Enjoy
Historical fiction based on true events, action-adventure westerns, African American historical figures, and authentic frontier stories will find this volume essential reading. The combination of historical accuracy regarding Bass Reeves' actual career and fictionalized adventures creates compelling narratives that honor the legacy of this legendary marshal.
