Howdy and welcome back to Wild West Deep Dives.

This is our 3rd episode of our Deep Dive into Bass Reeves. Last week, we talked about some of the early years as a US Deputy Marshal, a horse race he was involved in, some work drama and his shootout with Jim Webb.

This week, we are going to talk about the history of the Fort Smith jail, his encounter with an Indian Medicine man, some more arrest, his friendship with Belle Starr and the murder of his cook.

Part 4 is now available on Patreon, as always, I greatly appreciate y'alls support!
