Black Heroes Of The Wild West

"Catching crooks, fighting off wild wolves, taming mustangs – meet three real-life heroes of the past! Deputy U.S. Marshal Bass Reeves, mail carrier Stagecoach Mary and cowboy Bob Lemmons share the spotlight in this little history comic that is short, sweet and to the point. We glimpse a slice of the life of Reeves, hunting down villains, while Mary Field’s life is told in full. Then there’s Lemmons, the least famous of the three, who gets the quietest and most satisfying tale. With an intro from Caldecott winner Kadir Nelson, this is the most fun you can have debunking faulty historical records! (For ages 8 to 12)"
