Bass Reeves, the real "Lone Ranger" was the first Black deputy U.S. Marshal, west of the Mississippi River.
A former slave turned American law enforcement official, Reeves freed himself and then lived among the Cherokee and Seminole people until the end of the Civil War.
Because of his mastery of the Cherokee and Seminole languages and knowledge of the territories, the U.S. Marshals recruited Reeves to be a deputy marshal.
Reeves was a superior detective, in addition to an expert marksman with both rifles and revolvers.
His exceptional skills made him the inspiration for the Lone Ranger character.
