"Bass" is short for "Badass".

Really cool find.

 

They need to make a movie about this guy.

Fascinating stuff. I smell a writeup if I can get around to doing it based on the information presented.

 

There are many ways to measure manliness. Bass gets credit for moral manhood as well as other qualities. There's something to be said for incorruptible men in corrupt times.

Re: Western Hero - US Marshal Bass Reeves

 

Nice writeup, Mike.

 

And I agree, Ranxerox. I'd see a movie about Bass Reeves.
