 Did you ever watch a wild west television show or movie?  While settlers moved their families westward, many criminals took advantage of people.  It was difficult to establish law and order in the expanding new territories.  Then Judge Isaac Parker found his man—former slave, Bass Reeves. He made him a deputy.  Honest and so good with a gun, some outlaws simply gave up when they found out Reeves was after them. He made over 3,000 arrests during his time as marshal.  What made Reeves so successful?  You’ll have to read the book to find out.  (Pennsylvania Young Reader's Choice Awards, 2011-2012)
