A TRUE WESTERN HERO
Airship 27 Productions proudly presents BASS REEVES –
FRONTIER LAWMAN, a fictional anthology inspired by the life of a real Oklahoma
U.S. Deputy Marshal.
He began his life as a slave. During the Civil War he
escaped and lived among the Indians of the Five Civilized Tribes in the Oklahoma Territories. He learned to ride, shoot and
track prey from his adopted people. When the war ended, he was recruited as one
of the first black deputy marshals in the history of the west.
In a thirty year career, operating under the authority of
Judge Parker out of Fort Smith,
he captured over three thousand outlaws, was involved in fourteen major gun
battles and never wounded once. At the
ended of his career, he became a Deputy Sheriff in Tuskegee until his death at the age of
70. He is considered the greatest western
lawman that ever lived.
“The greatest lawman you never heard of,” states Airship 27
Productions’ Managing Editor Ron Fortier.
“Shamefully because of the color of his skin, Bass Reeves’ exploits were
purposely left out of the history books. While we were being taught about the
white lawmen of the times such as Wyatt Earp and Wild Bill Hickock, prejudicial
teachers did their best to bury the stories of the hundreds of black pioneers
who worked, sweated and died to settle the western territories. Brave black
cowboys, Buffalo Soldiers and heroes of justice like Bass Reeves; determined to
bring law and order to the Wild West.”
Now writers Gary Phillips, Mel Odom, Andrew Salmon and Derrick
Ferguson have whipped up four action packed adventures inspired by this
legendary figure. Tales of a wild frontier where outlaws and renegades roamed freely
until the coming of one amazing man who wore a badge and vowed to bring justice
to one and all. He was Bass Reeves – Frontier Marshal.
