The Lone Ranger is an American icon in TV and the movies, but not many people know the Lone Ranger character is thought to be based on an African-American man named Bass Reeves.
Reeves was born a slave, but escaped out West during the Civil War, living in what was known back then as “Indian Territory.” Reeves became a lawman, and would eventually rise to become a Deputy U.S. Marshal. Riding out of Fort Smith, Arkansas, he was known as a master of disguise, an expert marksman, had a Native American companion, and rode a silver horse--all aspects that would later go on to inspire the Lone Ranger.
Has a pet Indian, shoots straight, BLENDS IN, and has a SILVER horse....I can't quit laughing. :lol
In fact, it’s believed that as many as one in every four cowboys in the Old West was black.
:rofl:rofl:rofl
