Has a pet Indian, shoots straight, BLENDS IN, and has a SILVER horse....I can't quit laughing.The Lone Ranger is an American icon in TV and the movies, but not many people know the Lone Ranger character is thought to be based on an African-American man named Bass Reeves.
Reeves was born a slave, but escaped out West during the Civil War, living in what was known back then as “Indian Territory.” Reeves became a lawman, and would eventually rise to become a Deputy U.S. Marshal. Riding out of Fort Smith, Arkansas, he was known as a master of disguise, an expert marksman, had a Native American companion, and rode a silver horse--all aspects that would later go on to inspire the Lone Ranger.
In fact, it’s believed that as many as one in every four cowboys in the Old West was black.
