(It was widely reported last year that Freeman was developing his own Bass Reeves series, “Twin Territories,” for Amazon.) Burton’s book is deeply researched, yet its most memorable lines ring like tall tales passed down through generations.

For many people, saying "I'm sorry" after certain situations, even those that don't require an apology, is second nature. Here are three common scenarios where you might be tempted to over-apologize, and what to consider saying instead. "'I'm sorry' is often a phrase that people use when they need to fill space," Lindo says. You might decide to interject by saying, "Sorry, but I'd like to weigh in." "People use 'I'm sorry' in these situations to penetrate the conversation and have their voice heard when they don't have to."
