(3) YA Paulsen constructs a coming-of-age narrative for Bass Reeves, an African American federal marshal who served in the Indian Territory in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. The Hatchet-like survival story of the young runaway slave is exciting and always plausible; Paulsen also (although without sources) dispenses what is known about Reeves's own story throughout the novel.
