[@raycharles1982]

Yuppp. He is part of the reason I love the "old west"

[@jimkentwood2176]

Except it's not true. It's false. People don't of Bass Reeves as the insiration for the Lone Ranger because the people who created the Lone Ranger (for children's radio in 1933) wouldn't have had any way to know about Reeves. The Lone Ranger was made by combining elements of heroes from early motion pictures of the 20s and 30s. The correct question to ask is, ''Why was Bass Reeves virtually unknown before the 2000s when figures like Bat Masterson and Wyatt Earp were made into popular entertainment back in the 1950s?'' Then the answer would be, ''Because he's black.'' That's enough of a story. It shouldn't need to be embellished with made up claims about the origin of the Lone Ranger character.

[@CodaMission]

Despite accounting for only about 12% of the population of the US, black Americans accounted for up to 25% of cowboys! The cattlemen, outlaws, settlers, and ranchers of the US has always been the tradition of minorities in America. It was a tradition started by Hispanics and spread to the white and black alike

This guy was seriously amazing. I remember reading a book about him in middle school. Apparently, one night after he had captured some men and put them in a jail cart (a wagon with bars, basically) he went to sleep. In the night a skunk walked by and the bad guys threw rocks at it to get it to spray Reeves. Instead, Reeves woke up and pet the skunk. Not kidding. This was in library book. This man was legendary.

[@demetriussherman476]

The job Reeves took on was dangerous. The US Marshall Service states "Line of Duty Deaths Prevalent in Old West" "Dangerous duty" One example is "1885, Deputy Marshal Jim Guy, along with possemen Bill Kirksey, Andy Roff and James Roff, were killed in Delaware Bend. Indian Territory, in a shoot-out with the Pink-Lee Gang;" (Bass Reeves worked in Indian Territory where the worst outlaws tried to escape to)

Paige Washington - They were the Spanish, not Chinese. Large areas of the US belonged to Mexico/the Spanish long ago. Almost all of what we consider the wild west, in fact, was under Mexico rule. New Mexico wasn't named New Mexico just for fun. ;P Then settlers wanted farm steads and the South wanted to expand slavery, and so we pushed west and fought several wars to gain that area (smaller, lesser known wars like the Mexican-American war of 1846 that was fought over Texas -- current residents wanted slavery in Texas but Mexico had outlawed it decades before and the South wanted anything that would expand slavery so yeah. Remember the Alamo truly wasn't all that heroic when you understand the context of it.) A lot of the original European settlers didn't leave when the land was given to the US.

+Dick Buttkiss yay, thanks Dick!

[@Dehslash9]

They sell it on dvd too. Actually now-a-days that's what supports a show more than ratings.

[@dominospikza]

this is the best episode for every reason possible

[@brandonboss6868]

2:13 the look on his face had me rollin'

[@jeffsjuststoked]

I don't touch people, but when I'm drunk, I love everybody and just want to sleep. That's why I don't drink too much, because then all I care about his going home and getting in bed to sleep lol.

[@aprili.3802]

" i wanna touch your face" LOL

[@taylormanes8113]

how has no one made a movie about this guy???

[@brookevangelderen704]

It's probably the fact that he's black unfortunately, which would have ruled that out in the western movie times because it's the 50s/60s. People of color are just becoming more prominent as main characters in film, so I wouldn't be to surprised if we see a Bass Reeves movie within next decade!

[@NonameWriter]

They kinda did, but they made him white, called Lone Ranger lol.

[@mysticfire473]

Im binge watching this show the last 2 days & my face is actually red & warm from laughing so much the past few hours 😂

[@TheMissbambi]

[@MrTamendez]

Ellis let's date!

[@supersquare]

Same lol I can't help but express my undying love for eveyone

[@Sindollx666x]

I can be that kind of drunk just depends on the situation. Especially around old friends and people I have lots of respect & admiration for. I just can't help it. I had to quit drinking in my late 20s for awhile because I had been in and out of a lot of relationships in my early 20s as I explored the dating game. I got married the year I turned 26 and would revert in my mind to single mode when I drank! Gah! So I took a break from it until I knew I could control that part of myself. Though drinking always turns me into a flirt. I can also be kinda scary if I get drunk on Whiskey, it makes me a mean drunk!

[@jennya9838]

I'm a helper drunk. Someone wants to talk for hours, laugh, cry, whatever? Here I am. You just want a bit of a cuddle, well alright! I also love to tell stories, and long jokes. Basically, I just want everyone to be happy.

[@jennya9838]

Wait, I also love to cook meals. When friends come to my home I'm a big fan of feeding people and making everyone comfortable. At the end of the night I also tend to give my friends a comfortable place to sleep with pillows and blankets.

He was also the inspiration for the character Rooster Cogburn in True Grit.

Good research, Drunk History! I knew about Bass Reeves before seeing this. The Lone Ranger is definitely based on Bass Reeves. What a hero!
