Famous for being a crack shot as well as for his nonviolent tendencies, Reeves uses his African American race to his strategic advantage.

This second book in the Bass Reeves Trilogy investigates what really happened when Reeves made the greatest mistake of his life on the heels of his greatest achievements.","brand":"Sidney Thompson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43573450440886,"sku":"9781496225399","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9781496225399_9ea30280-8ae4-481f-9fce-bee26940f88a.jpg?v=1726582392","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/hell-on-the-border-2","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
