 Who
was Bass Reeves? A century
after his death, the life of an African American deputy U.S. Marshal
intrigues historians. In December's eFortSmith, a special series
looks at Reeves with his great-nephew, one of his biographers and
the historian of the U.S. Marshals Service. Upcoming history seminars
and exhibits will help to flesh out a fuller picture. Reeves, a
former slave, spent 32 years fully vested with law enforcement powers
to serve the federal court of Judge Isaac C. Parker in Arkansas
and the Indian Territory. His reputation for integrity and for capturing
criminals endures. |

Citizen Soldiers and their Families
In November, eFortSmith had a feature section about three
local families who are living with a family member home from war,
preparing to deploy or on active duty.
We're a Blue Star staff
Four people in active duty are relatives of members of our magazine
staff. Send us photos of servicemen and servicewomen
who are your relatives or friends and we will recognize them,
as well.
Remembering
Paula
Linda
Seubold recalls dear family friend Paula Winston Reed, who survived
her deployment to Iraq but was beginning to overcome the effects
of post-traumatic stress when she died in 2008.
