Howdy and Welcome back to Wild West Deep Dives.
This is our 5th episode of our Deep Dive into Bass Reeves. We have been talking about Bass Reeves for what? A month now? And we still have so much more to discuss!
This week, we will talk about Bass’s encounter with Ben Billy, take a quick glance at him arresting a future Deputy Marshal, some tragedies in his personal life, the Bandit Queen’s son and the last major change of Bass’s career.
Join me on Patreon, episode 6 is now available and I released an episode a couple weeks ago on the First Stagecoach Robbery in United States History!! Thank you everyone for their support!
