Congratulations to Art Burton, whose book on Bass Reeves is this afternoon listed as rank #830 on Amazon, and is in the top 10 on 19th Century history. This is truly phenomenal. Art, is there any news you can share which accounts for this??

Most of it was generated by this article on the CNN website: http://www.cnn.com/2013/08/06/...can-american-reeves/

There is also a recent article on the New York Daily News website: http://www.nydailynews.com/new...ve-article-1.1421920

And a London newspaper: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/cul...ne-Ranger-black.html

So for the month of August, I have received my five minutes of fame. LOL

Hopefully this will bring more attention to Oklahoma's frontier history.
