That's me holding my copy of Art's new book.

On August 12, 2006, I went to the Three Rivers Museum in Muskogee, Oklahoma to hear Art Buton.  Art is the Bass Reeves expert. He has written a book all about him, Black Gun, Silver Star: The Life and Legend of Frontier Marshal Bass Reeves.  Art told a lot of stories about Bass. For instance, he told us how Bass marched about 24 prisoners from the MK & T railroad depot to the jail single file. The sight was so spectacular, the street was lined with citizens. After his book signing we toured parts of Muskogee.  I saw where the jail used to be that Bass took his prisoners. Bass had two houses in Muskogee. I also saw where both of his houses used to be located.
