on January 12, 1910, the Muskogee Phoenix newspaper wrote "In the history of the early days of Eastern Oklahoma the name of Bass Reeves has a place in the front rank among those who cleansed out the old Indian Territory of outlaws and desperadoes. ....... During that time he was sent to arrest some of the most desperate characters that ever infested Indian Territory and endangered life and peace in its borders. "
No, Bass Reeves was NOT the inspiration for the Lone Ranger. First, the creators of the Lone Ranger stated that they based the character on other fictional characters like Zorro and Robin Hood, which is why the Lone Ranger wears a mask. Second, Bass Reeves was a US Marshall, not a Texas Ranger. Third, the most likely real life inspiration for the Lone Ranger was John Reynolds Hughes, the longest-serving Texas Ranger in US history who had a book inspired by his life story called "The Lone Star Ranger."
I remember in high school I did a paper on Bass Reeves for history class when we were covering the Wild West. During my research I learned how cool he was and now he’s one of my favorite historical Wild West figures.

They have erected a statue about 25 feet of Bass Reeves outside Fort Smith which still stands today. Question: What was the name of Bass Reeves horse? Answer: Blaze
There certainly was nothing romantic about being an old west lawman, outlaw, or cowboy & it led to a hellish, miserable end for many, women also. I've wondered how many know the Dalton boys before they went bad had been lawmen? They even lost a brother killed in line of duty by horse thieves. Even men like Earp & Masterson knew much hardship & loss. Yes, it was no movie. It took a special breed of man.
You are so right. Way too many Marshalls got killed in the line of duty, and Bass Reeves was in the worst place for lawmen. One example: "On April 15, 1872, eight deputy marshals were shot and killed In what came to be known as the Going Snake Massacre, which occurred in Tahlequah, Indian Territory"
@@demetriussherman476 You could simply disappear, be robbed, mugged, or murdered for little or no reason at all in what was then Oklahoma (Native) Territory. It could be a very dangerous place.

Not allegedly. "During his 30-year career, Reeves, who was known for his deadly prowess with his revolver and Winchester rifle, captured approximately 3,000 dangerous criminals and survived countless gun battles where he shot and killed at least 14 of the fugitives in self-defense." " "Bass was the most prolific law enforcement officer we've ever had in the United States," David Kennedy, the curator at the United States Marshals Museum - which will feature an exhibit about Reeves when it opens later this year in Fort Smith, Ark. - tells PEOPLE. "He worked in the most-deadly region and during the most-deadly time for deputy marshals." Retired history professor Art Burton has spent decades researching and writing about Reeves, who died in 1907 at the age of 72, and has been instrumental in sharing his remarkable story with a new generation of fans."
@@ShouldHaveBeenDavid Oyelowo was the one who came up with the idea for Lawmen: Bass Reeves. He pitched the idea to Taylor Sheridan due to the funds at his disposal. Oyelowo is the true genius behind this series. So, I wouldn’t worry too much. David spent countless hours reading and studying about Bass Reeves. It’s what gave him the idea for this series and made him so determined to tell the story of Bass Reeves.

He is already getting undue credit and is surely burying any accurate depiction that could have been.

His legacy deserves better than the overt action and soap opera treatment his story will be getting with Sheridan attached.
Looks excellent. My only minor note, I am tired of listening to British actors put on bad Western accents. David Oyelowo is a phenomenal actor, having said that there are plenty of great black American actors that could have done the job.
@@Hibbs4Prez The most important thing is that the actor show the courage and determination that Bass Reeves had. You might let the other issues go, but he must have the inner qualities of Bass Reeves more than anything else , and that I think, was vital to David Oyelowo.

He was the lone ranger. The greatest US Marshall In History. Isaiah Washington made this movie already and Hollywood tried to bury his for this. It's call Corcicana a great movie a great bass Reeves go watch and support that movie it's powerful with Washington playing it.

Any film he's been attached to that was good hasn't been good because of him.
The concept for the show is awesome. And even more exciting that it’s based on a real life person. Unfortunately, the show played out a little bit more like a historical fantasy. The show portrayed bass Reeves killing his master which didn’t happen. The show portrays bass Reeves, being taken in by creek Indians, as if they didn’t strongly support the Confederacy and fight tooth and nail to the end like most of the Indian tribes. The show did attempt somewhat at the beginning to show some nuance and how it portrayed Confederate soldiers. However, the only confederate soldier that was portrayed with some humanity ended up killing a kid. I say this, as the direct descendent of a southerner who fought for the union that that this conflict had both good and bad men on both sides, with various reasons for fighting many of them fighting simply because it’s what they had to do to survive. Bass Reeves himself is an American hero, and we should have more stories about him. Unfortunately, I believe that Sheridans kind of lost his touch- despite his good ideas.

@@shanikaharvey8966 Ignorance and apathy are unbecoming qualities and only enable terrible people like Taylor Sheridan to keep producing terrible shows and take advantage of his audience all the while insulting their intelligence.
They created quite a few new large sets for this project alone. An entire town about 15 minutes away from me in North Central Texas got turned into 1880’s Checotah, OK. They put a lot of time and money into this.
Wait they are FINALLY making a show/movie about the real life Lone Ranger!!!!! Seriously It's good to see this I am tired of the coopting of races in Hollywood when you have real life events like this to portray!
But, it's coming from two people who have no attachment to the story and that feel no responsibility to do it justice. Taylor Sheridan needs to stop writing or take some writing classes.
Doubt that, they could have found far better American actors to play Reeves. They just chose him because he’s producing it as well as being a “Big name” in Hollywood.

I can't wait!
It would behoove you to wait until a black writer and producer gets a chance to give Bass Reeves' story and legacy the personal treatment and attachment it deserves.
@@ShouldHaveBeen no
@@shanikaharvey8966 Ignorance and apathy are unbecoming qualities and only enable terrible people like Taylor Sheridan to keep producing terrible shows and take advantage of his audience all the while insulting their intelligence.
@@shanikaharvey8966 So, you want an undeserving privileged white man to benefit and profit from the work and story of a black man?
Can't wait to watch this. I got to be an Extra in several scenes and it was so much fun.
Curious to find the trailer song. This looks amazing.
Have you found it? I’ve been looking too.
“Judgement Day” by Astrnmy
Paramount+ is really making use of their Western and Star Trek sets...
They created quite a few new large sets for this project alone. An entire town about 15 minutes away from me in North Central Texas got turned into 1880’s Checotah, OK. They put a lot of time and money into this.
@@cloroxbleach8087I didn’t know this information! Thank you. It takes a lot of money to create false narratives.
that’s mine and my friends song in the trailer!!! :)
Is the song on Apple Music by chance? : )
Wait they are FINALLY making a show/movie about the real life Lone Ranger!!!!! Seriously It's good to see this I am tired of the coopting of races in Hollywood when you have real life events like this to portray!
But, it's coming from two people who have no attachment to the story and that feel no responsibility to do it justice. Taylor Sheridan needs to stop writing or take some writing classes.
D.O was the only man for the job 💯
Been waiting for this
Doubt that, they could have found far better American actors to play Reeves. They just chose him because he’s producing it as well as being a “Big name” in Hollywood.
@@TheBlackRanger187 yeah that's the reason 😆
@@daneo617It is. Do the bare minimum research before responding. If you are going to respond why be sarcastic and belittle someone?
@@ShouldHaveBeen you claim he was only chosen because he's producing it & that's just not true.
It's your opinion not a fact.
@@ShouldHaveBeen I can't do research, to look up your opinion.
I think that Taylor Sheridan is going places.
He's not going anywhere....he's staying at Paramount forever and ever
@@moviefan700they meant in general lol
@@jaychris7188 lol I know
I think Sheridan is one of the worst contemporary writers in existence.
Oh wow. He’s even the great great grandfather of one of my all time favourite football players. This looks amazing.
This looks like a Taylor Sheridan cash grab.
@@ShouldHaveBeen your mom is a cash grab.
Cant Wait
Not that I'm against seeing Donald Sutherland in a new show, but Judge Parker was not that old when he appointed Bass Reeves as Deputy Marshal. 🤨
I agree, I don’t think characters should be changed based on the discretion of the writers or directors.
@@tashap2022 It bothers me the way they play around with time, rather than focusing on historical accuracy. Give me Donald Sutherland any day, just not in a role he is too old to play.
Didnt Delroy Lindo play him in Harder they fall? Oyewelo is good but Lindo is amazing.
Oyewelo is mediocre in my opinion. Eldis Hodge would have been a much better choice. Peace and blessings.
Gotta see it!!!
No, you don't. Unless you like Taylor Sheridan's lowbrow entertainment.
Ain't none harder.
Can’t wait to watch how he arrests someone
This is gonna be Good
What is Bass small, all accounts we was a very big man.
Pardon the caps but IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!!
Too bad the timeliness is overshadowed by Taylor Sheridan's inability to write or that he is a terrible human being.
Denzel Washington would have been the better choice for the starring role. He did a masterful job in the remake of "The Magnificent Seven."
INDEED AND AGREED 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
I agree , at least a older version. Denzel son John david would have been a better selection.
@@dominiquetatum7034Either one would have been more authentic seeing that they are American Colored/Negroes and not an African British person who has no relation to these lands!
Finally!!!!
Can’t wait
You can't wait for another poorly written Taylor Sheridan money grab? Or you can't wait for him to butcher the story of an American legend? Or you couldn't wait for a deserving black writer or producer with a real attachment to what Reeves' story represents to tell it?
Heck yeah, that looks awesome
Movie on Starz about Reeves
This is a Denzel role
Fun fact: Bass Reeves won the wild west.
Looks very good.
In what way does the story of a black man produced and written by a white man with no personal attachment to the story "look very good?"
This looks so good! 🔥🔥🔥
When are you bringing Paramount+ to Poland?
Saw your video. Nice. A Black traveler in Poland, speaking what sounds like African.
@@demetriussherman476 thank you 😅
“Oh my gosh!” I’m in love! ❤ David Oyelowo looks like Thalmus Rasulala!
He definitely doesn't look like bass reeves.
How does Oyelowo look like Thalmus Rasulala? Thalmus Rasulala was over six feet tall. An inquiring mind just wants to know. Peace and blessings.
@@tashap2022 imo…in this movie, it’s his features, not his height. Peace be unto you!
The Legends of the Old West podcast has a video on him. Dude was the real Django and Raylan Givens rolled into one. forget the Lone Ranger!
Does anyone know the name of the song in this trailer. TY
“Judgement Day” by ASTRNMY
Do FBA actors not exist??????
I have held his six shooter when I was a kid they had it down at the old court house next to the gallows I am from fort Smith
Didn't know anything about him until I got to watching history Chanel a few years back
تحفة سينمائية قادمة 😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Glad his story is being told.
Too bad it's got Taylor Sheridan attached. He will do this story no justice.
"Stop hiring foreigners to play 'Foundational Black Americans' (FBA).".
Oh here we go with this division and tribalism. 🤦🏿♂️
@@admirekashiri9879Its not tribism! Its Facts! An American Colored/Negron should not be playing a Nigerian British Icon as well, it wouldn't be authentic as we did not experience or grow up relating to UK or Africa!
@@admirekashiri9879 it has nothing to do with division in tribalism. It has everything to do with white supremacy and Africans continually playing a role. David is not a good choice for this role. He can’t even talk like a Southern black man he’s not convincing at all, but it looks in the trailer.
@@anuday2022 Yes division and tribalism. African Americans play African figures. Do you see Africans now hating on your people in large numbers because of that? If you want this division, go for it. it's your life and your countries, but keep.that same energy when it comes to representing African historical figures and characters.
Rather see this than bad boys.
I love that Barry Pepper is in this. First, a role in the Lone Ranger, and now a role in the story of the [possible] inspiration for the Lone Ranger!!
Indeed, it's gone full circle for him! I can't wait to see this, but especially Barry. We need more projects from him.
تحفه سينمائية قادمة 👏🏻😍👏🏻
Dennis Quaid, I'm in.
so does this mean no season two of SILO ?
