About this listen

Bass Reeves was a man of color and a deputy United States marshal. For thirteen years he was aided by Dave Adams, also a deputy marshal, and a white man. Bennie Reeves was Bass Reeves' son and a barber, a good one, before he shot down his unarmed wife who had been cheating on him and then disappeared. U.S. Marshal Leo E. Bennett, known as Doc, had reservations about handing the warrant to Bass Reeves to be served against Bennie. But for Bass there was no reservation - his son had broken the law and was a fugitive. He was willing to find and capture Bennie, in order to bring him back to face trial for his crime. Dave Adams would accompany Bass Reeves, as he had for so long. Bass thought he knew where to look for his son, and he soon found him and arrested him.

But then Bennie was suddenly freed from custody by the notorious Cherokee Bob Dozier and his gang of renegades. Cherokee Bob had been a criminal at large for a long time. He had committed a number of robberies, accompanied by murders, because Cherokee Bob did not believe in leaving behind any witnesses. So when the pursuit of Bennie continued, it was fraught with far more danger. Even with Dave Adams besides him, Bass Reeves would be vastly outnumbered, and Cherokee Bob knew where to hide.

BASS REEVES

I love books about Bass Reeves. Parts of this book was good. Parts of this book I didn't like. Bass has to go and arrest his son. Than Bass gets arrested. I didn't like some of the Posey members. It really happened so I get it. I think Judge Parker should have pulled some strings. This is not a bad book and I think the next person may absolutely love it. I just couldn't get into it. It's not your typical Book where Bass is out doing all the amazing things we know he did. Bass deserves more respect. I know back than a Black man didn't get respect but Bass does deserve it. I think Scott sewers did a good job narrating this book. If my review is any help will you please click on the helpful link below. Thank you.
