In the Legend of Bass Reeves by Gary Paulsen, Bass is a young slave boy. His job is to go catch wild cattle for his master. He lives on a plantation with his mother and one other slave. His master is somewhat nice, compared to other slave owners. When Bass grows up his master teaches him to play poker, but when Bass catches him cheating, Bass has to run away from his master. He ends up living in the Indian territory until slavery is abolished. After that he becomes a great federal marshal and has many adventures chasing outlaws. I think that people who enjoy stories of cowboys would like this book. My favorite line is "Had everything in it plus rattlesnake heads."
This book sounds interesting! I have always loved cowboys. :) I will read it when I find the time to.
