Bass Reeves Part 4
Howdy and Welcome back to Wild West Deep Dives.
Bass had already begun receiving notoriety and was in the papers constantly, some bad, but mostly good, him arresting criminals and bringing them in by the wagon loads but also some drama.
This week, we will look into the Tom Story Gang, him getting a new boss, start diving into the chaotic year of 1890 and finish with Bass Reeves, not being perfect.
Episode 5 is now available on Patreon, I appreciate y'all for your support! THANK YOU THANK YOU!
