My name is Art T. Burton, I wrote the new biography, Black Gun, Silver Star: The Life and Legend of Frontier Marshal Bass Reeves. This book was a culmination of ten years of intensive research which should help to broaden readers perspective on Wild West history. I look forward to answering questions from readers of my book or thoughts on the Indian Territory, blacks in the West, or the Wild West in general. I holstered my toy guns at the age of 12 and now in my mid 50s I am back in the saddle again, with a brand new view and interpretation. I will be adding comments concerning my research and related items in upcoming weeks. Hope to see you on the trail.
