Our long awaited series on Bass Reeves is finally here!
Bass Reeves was born into slavery and became one of the first black United States Deputy Marshals. He would repeatedly travel into Indian Territory and return with a wagon load of prisoners, from murders to whiskey peddlers, he brought ‘em in. He arrested the infamous Belle Starr, chased Ned Christie and killed Bob Dozier. But who was he as a man? Was he really the real Lone Ranger? Is it true he arrest his own son? How accurate was the recent series, Lawmen Bass Reeves?
Episode 2 is available on Pateron, I appreciate all the support y'all have given me and it motivates me to keep working hard!
