Description

When Hollywood created the iconic Lone Ranger, they drew inspiration from a remarkable lawman whose exploits were so extraordinary they seemed like fiction. Bass Reeves, one of the first Black deputy U.S. marshals west of the Mississippi River, captured over 3,000 criminals during his 32-year career and became the most feared and respected lawman in the American frontier. His incredible story of justice, courage, and unwavering dedication to the law deserves recognition as one of America's greatest unsung heroes
