Before the Lone Ranger… there was Bass Reeves.
In this gripping episode of Murders, Mysteries, and Conspiracies, host Glenn P. Clinger III uncovers the extraordinary true story of Bass Reeves — a man born into slavery who became one of the most feared and respected U.S. Marshals in the Wild West.
From outlaws and disguises to daring arrests and deadly shootouts, Reeves’ life reads like folklore — but every word is real. With over 3,000 arrests and an unshakable code of justice, could Bass Reeves have been the real inspiration behind the Lone Ranger? We explore the mystery, the man, and the myth.
