Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Follow the Angels, Follow the Doves is an origin story in the true American tradition. Before Bass Reeves could stake his claim as the most successful nineteenth-century American lawman, arresting more outlaws than any other deputy during his thirty-two-year career as a deputy U.S. marshal in some of the most dangerous regions of the Wild West, he was a slave. After a childhood picking cotton, he became an expert marksman under his master’s tutelage, winning shooting contests throughout the region. His skill had serious implications, however, as the Civil War broke out. Reeves was given to his master’s mercurial, sadistic, Moby-Dick-quoting son in the hopes that Reeves would keep him safe in battle. The ensuing humiliation, love, heroics, war, mind games, and fear solidified Reeves’s determination to gain his freedom and drew him one step further on his fated path to an illustrious career. Follow the Angels, Follow the Doves is an important historical work that places Reeves in the pantheon of American heroes and a thrilling historical novel that narrates a great man’s exploits amid the near-mythic world of the nineteenth-century frontier.

Other times we grow up in a bad environment, and never had a chance before we got started. Then there are cases where you do your best and life just deals you a really bad hand. Life is not easy for most of us. I can sympathize because it wasn't easy for me either.The question is... What do we do with the broken messes we call ourselves? Do we give up? Do we use our hard circumstances as a crutch for the rest of our lives to excuse the fact that we will never be happy? Or, do we pick ourselves up out of the dust and fight for our happiness?Maybe your situation is so bad that there will never be a chance to change things around. Well, if I can go through hell and back and end up where I'm at today than anyone can. The reason I wrote this book is to show others the first steps to take who don't think there is a way out. I'm telling my story to help people in the most extreme hopeless situations that even they can find a happy ending to their story. I've always said, "Yeah though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I shall fear no evil", not because I needed a false protection from God, I fear no evil because I was something a whole lot worse.I realize using the phrase, "I went through hell and back", has become a cliché. Well, what if you witness your mother being physically abused daily. While suffering violent beatings yourself on a normal basis you became so pathetically addicted to drugs that you constantly attempt suicide. Due to the overwhelming stress on your body and mind you develop multiple personality disorder. You become a violent sociopath, and survive ten years in prison after escaping constant hits on your life due to the fact that there is a murder contract on your head. Living your whole life breaking anyone's heart who ever cared about you, all the while suffering the deepest emotional torment, and hate ever known to man. In this case I don't see anything cliché about my life's story.This was just the beginning of my life. I could have lay down and died and nobody would have blamed me for giving up. Where you have been in life doesn't define who you are now. Society, people around you, and even your own mind may tell you there is no way you will ever be happy, but if I can beat the odds by overcoming the past then anyone can. My story is proof of that.
