BASS REEVES Ep. 1 | “Deputy U.S. Marshal”

Bass Reeves begins life as a slave, then fights in the Civil War, and then flees into Indian Territory to live as a free man. His skills as a tracker and a sharpshooter, along with his knowledge of the territory, make him an ideal candidate for the marshal service. Soon-to-be-famous Judge Isaac Parker swears in Reeves as a deputy based out of Fort Smith, Arkansas.
