He Arrested His Own Son – The True Story of Bass Reeves

In 1902, Marshal Leo Bennett held a murder warrant he didn't want to give to anyone. The warrant was for the son of Bass Reeves—the most feared lawman in Indian Territory. No deputy wanted to arrest Bass Reeves' son. But when Bass saw the warrant, he said four words: "Give me the writ." This is the true story of Bass Reeves—born enslaved in 1838, escaped during the Civil War, and became one of the first Black deputy U.S. marshals west of the Mississippi. Over 32 years, he arrested over 3,000 criminals, killed 14 outlaws in self-defense, and was never wounded. He was a master of disguise who spoke five Native American languages and memorized arrest warrants despite being illiterate. But his greatest test came when duty demanded he arrest his own son for murder. Many historians believe Bass Reeves was the real-life inspiration for the Lone Ranger. He rode a white horse, gave out silver dollars as calling cards, worked with Native American companions, and brought justice to 75,000 square miles of lawless frontier. This is his story. ...............................................................................................................................
