Born into slavery in Tennessee, Mary Fields became famous as \"Stagecoach Mary,\" a cigar-chomping, card playing coach driver who never missed a delivery. Bass Reeves, the first black Deputy US Marshal west of the Mississippi, was one of the wiliest lawmen in the territories, bringing thousands of outlaws to justice with his smarts. Bob Lemmons lived to be 99 years old and was so good with horses that the wild mustangs on the plains of Texas took him for one of their own. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrom the introduction by \u003cb\u003eKADIR NELSON\u003c\/b\u003e, winner of the 2020 Caldecott Award: \"Black Heroes of the Wild West is a brilliant and entertaining offering.
