Episode: On the Trail with Bad Bad Guys - Bass Reeves Ep 4
Description: So is Bass Reeves the inspiration for the Lone Ranger - or not? Or does it not matter that much in the end.For as much as people like to look back on the past, on the 19th century as simpler times with more direct paths and clearer values... Turns out it was not. There were fewer distractions sure, but there were still hard decisions that had to be made, becasue people were just as much out for themselves then as they are now, and perfectly willing to justfy it then... just the way they do now.
