On Saturday,
July 9, 2022 I wrote an article entitled Historical
Cinematic Film For The Weekenders: “Within Our Gates”, a 1920 Silent Film
Starring Evelyn Preer, and in that article I mentioned in almost a
footnote America’s first black lawman, Bass Reeves. I did not add much about
Reeves because the historical reference article said more about him than me, a 21st
woman of color ever could on the discovery of this remarkable man.
Today,
while trolling the web, I came across the article, Donald
Sutherland Joins Taylor Sheridan’s ‘Lawmen: Bass Reeves’ Series For Paramount+.
It is well known among his fans that Sutherland has played many wonderful characters throughout his long career; however, in the character of Henry
Faber in the 1981 British film ‘Eye Of The Needle’, I was spellbound by his
acting skills and I have enjoyed watching Sutherland in films every since that movie hit the theaters.
Well,
now he is joining the cast in the historical based film based on the life of the
black cowboy and America’s first black Deputy U.S. Marshal, Bass Reeves, in Taylor
Sheridan’s Lawmen: Bass Reeves’ for Paramount+.
Brief synopsis: Lawmen:
Bass Reeveswill bring the legendary lawmen and outlaws
of the Wild West to life. Reeves, known as the greatest frontier hero in
American history, worked in the post-Reconstruction era as a federal peace
officer in the Indian Territory, capturing over 3,000 of the most dangerous
criminals without ever being wounded. -- MTV
Entertainment Studios

To many
historians researching on blacks roles in the west, Bass Reeves is concerned a
possible candidate for the real Lone Ranger.
At present
there is no known air date for the series, so until then follow me and let’s explore
the history of Bass Reeves.
Martin
Scorsese director of ‘Who’s
That Knocking at My Door’, ‘Woodstock’, and ‘Raging Bull’ among others, is
bringing to life a true and painful chapter in America’s history, in the film ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’. The film is about the how and
why wealthy members of the Osage Nation were savagely murdered for their land
that was very oil rich. First thought to be motiveless and mysterious crimes,
the FBI discovers that the Indians of the Osage Nation are being murders for
more than their “worthless land” and racial tensions of the times.
The
film is adaption on David Grann novel ‘Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage
Murders and the Birth of the FBI”, as it
was back in the early 1920s.
The film's stars are Leonardo DiCaprio, Jesse Plemons, Lily
Gladstone and Robert De Niro
