Climate-fueled wild fires continue to ravage the West Coast, with Washington, Oregon, and California experiencing massive destruction.

A record 2.5 million acres have burned in California, nearly 20 times the amount of land burned by this time last year.

In Washington, communities have been devastated, while hundreds of homes have been destroyed in Oregon.

As of Thursday morning, President Trump has yet to provide a public statement on the historic wildfires. Trump has repeatedly said global warming is a ‘hoax,’ and he repealed Pres. Obama’s signature climate policy.

When wildfires raged across California in August, Trump blamed the state, saying, ‘You gotta clean your floors, you gotta clean your forests — there are many, many years of leaves and broken trees and they’re like, like, so flammable, you touch them and it goes up.’

Bass Reeves was so dedicated to the law, he even arrested his own son Bennie for the murder of his wife. Bennie was sentenced to life in prison. With over 3000 arrests, 14 kills, went his entire 32 year career in law enforcement without being shot once.

He was assigned to bring in the notorious female outlaw Belle Starr. Once she got wind who was after her she turned herself into the federal court.

Reeves was one of a few Marshalls who would venture into Indian territory *oklahoma*. After the age of 67 he retired in 1907. He enjoyed his short lived retirement as a police officer in Muskogee Oklahoma, his assigned beat had 0 crime reported until he died at the age of 71 of Bright’s disease.

He was one of the true gun slingers of the west.

I love the story of Bass Reeves!

One of his famous tactics was, if he was captured or in danger by a criminal he was hunting down, he would ask them to read a letter from his wife before they killed him. He used their distraction to free himself and get the upper hand.

He was also a freed slave. George Reeves, his owner and reason for his surname, took Bass with him to fight in the Civil War. However, George became violently angry after Bass beat him at a card game, and Bass was forced to fight him (or kill, on some accounts) in self defense.

After running away and entering Native American territory, Bass learned how to speak the languages of the ‘Five Civilized Tribes’ (Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Muskogee, Seminole). This part of his life is where he mastered marksmanship. He got married and had a family after the Emancipation Proclamation was declared, and then later became a Marshal, going on the adventures listed above (and many more… Another famous criminal that Bass captured was Bob Dozier.)

He was the very first black US Marshal. May we never forget him, as history would suffer to lose such an outstanding figure.

i think bass reeves is sunk deep into the american consciousness and that’s why so many of us were all !!!!! at idris elba playing the gunslinger in the dark tower movie, because we just knew in our souls that the archetype of the gunslinger should be a handsome black man with a mustache.
