LEGENDS OF THE OLD WEST | Bass Reeves Ep4: “Honor Until Death”

[@apencil1390]

Wow! Such a great treatment of a True American Hero

[@dukeman7595]

Fine Lawman, one of the best, if not the best. Thanks for your service Bass Reeves. RIP.

[@michaelgross7016]

great video. the book by art burton, BLACK GUN, SILVER STAR is a great book about Bass Reeves. the thing that gets me is that his exploits were mentioned in all the area newspapers dozens of times..... he was somewhat of a celebrity back then. Everyone knew who he was. citizens knew he was the legendary black deputy marshal. Criminals feared him. then he retired and his career was marginalized . but it's good he is eventually getting the recognition he deserves. He was probably the best u.s. deputy marshal in history.

[@BrightBrandi]

Two words describe Bass reeves "absolute legend "

[@kertmustapha2367]

An amazing Man and Life. Rest in Peace Mr. Reeves.

[@jolla9963]

Now there is a man who deserves a movie. Never a dull moment in this mans life.

[@travishendrix7026]

Many thanks for a fine documentary. I knew about Bass Reeves for years. Now I know him much, much better.

[@ericshedrock6052]

Outstanding . Thank you please keep doing what y’all are doing . I hope that Bass Reeves life story is made into a movie or a series .

[@glasair38sr]

I believe there was a movie made a few years back. I haven’t actually watched it, but it’s out there. I’ll post a link if I can find it today.

[@tw750]

That would be GREAT!

[@Thumper-dx3yn]

Excellent work. It truly makes you wish one could go back a 100 years and speak with such a steadfast man.

[@trevorbinkowski9023]

It's disappointing that only 7100 people heard this great story.

[@MyTownDrunk]

Most underrated channel ever. Thanks I love these.

[@PalmettoNDN]

Native American modern lawman here. Bass Reeves is one of my personal heroes. I look forward to a series on my distant cousin, Sam Sixkiller.

[@scottbates7316]

Your words about Bass at the end of the last episode are a real tribute to the man. Very well done sir!

[@plasmasun]

What an Amazing man. What a Legend.

[@sarat6723]

God bless his soul Bass Reeves . Thanks for your service.

[@rosshissom8561]

Great show!!!!

[@gosttunter]

EXCELLENT !

[@derekstocker6661]

What an amazing human being let alone peace officer, sad that he lost some of his offspring to illness and his first wife also, but very sad that a son went off the rails having a law abiding father with a fantastic reputation like Bass had. Excellent documentary, very well done. Thank so this.

[@paparazziphotography6712]

This was well done & very educational as well! Thanks for the history lesson..

[@johncustodio3871]

Amazing man the story is very well told I seen everything in my mind in color no less. keep up the good work

[@normajeanmorrissey4459]

Truly enjoyed this presentation. It was easy to follow and most interesting. I have done teaching (as a nurse)lecturing. Just love it. I was told I had a gift for it. You do too. Since I retired from nursing I have been studying history: Wild West, Civil War U.S. prez. and famous shipwrecks. Enjoy it all! Look forward to doing.additional ptograms

[@kirkbrown8189]

Thanks for a great, entertaining and information series. I have learned a lot and, of course, salute Lawman Reeves too. A true hero!

[@EliasGraves]

Thanks for this look at one of our best.

[@howardbest8369]

This is the best and most comprehensive pieces I have ever seen on Bass Reeves, nothing has been left out and I loved the work that went into this piece. I will become a subscriber because you spoke the truth here. Thank you and your team..

[@lesthebest3171]

Amazing, thank you for the research and excellent commentary. Hope to see an accurate film about this great American hero, one day.

[@garyj2101]

An outstanding law man thank you for doing this story on him. Keep up the good work! 🇺🇸👍👍🤠

[@sherrymilen1346]

Excellent!

[@slvrevolutions6863]

Bass Reeves is a badass !

[@jhutch0612]

Amazing, great stories

[@swhip897]

Great series

[@wildcolonialman]

Remarkable man, through and through, Mum still with him on demise. Dad there for the long run. Remarkable character set, remarkable skill set.

[@kathrynludrick4821]

Awesome

[@kelvinjones1866]

Impressive life of a real lawman

[@goldrush49]

This needs to be a movie. There is some crap out there about reeves but it needs a real movie

[@larryreese6146]

That was a fellow who would have been worth knowing.

[@willielee5253]

@A serious historian!!!

[@franlarv793]

A movie should be made of Bass and his long career Who needs fiction ?

[@rulojoe4747]

I think , One was in 2010 , called Bass Reeves !

[@DTOMOK]

Now OK is back to filing cases involving Indians on Indian land (half of the state) in Federal Court.

[@laamiroly]

9 children? There's another documentary that states he and his wife had 11 children. Names and DOB's of them were also stated, as well as her death being at the age of 55, not 56.

[@waynesaller]

Enjoyed the series. The background music is to loud and quite annoying.

[@William-Marshall]

Stealing land. Changing laws. Making it impossible for a great man to continue be a lawman. A sad death .

[@ernestmarshactor]

This is not Bass Reeves. Please stop passing this mistaken picture of him. This is a cabinet card from a private collection thought to be Bass Reeves that sold at auction for $12,000.

[@leewood331]

The music is awful, too loud and makes it hard to hear.

[@jamieellis5057]

Bass was a shitty father. Easy to see why the sons went bad. Great podcast. Keep it up!

[@dannydane2977]

Great lawman

[@PalmettoNDN]

LOL. Talk about armchair quarterbacking. Instead of it being Tuesday morning it's 130 years later by a jackass that isn't taking into account that black men had very few ways to provide for a family at the time and he fell into a lucrative job he was good at. What was he supposed to do? Quit and farm and sell his crops for 1/4 what they bought the same thing from a white person for?

[@keithwilliams1110]

Wow, you are shithead! Reeves took advantage of a golden opportunity to work and provide for his family. How many black men were able to involve themselves in law enforcement? Unfortunately, life is a trade-off. One thing gains, while something else loses.
