Let's never forget Sheriff Bart, who was appointed to the position in 1874 and worked out of the town of Rock Ridge. Despite the initial hostile reception in which he had to rely on his quick wit, the former railroad worker turned out to be quite the boon to the townsfolk. With the assistance of a washed up local gunfighter who went by the moniker "Waco Kid" he went on to eradicate the gang raised by corrupt Attorney General Lamarr who, with the complicity of the governor, were attempting to run the townsfolk off in order to profit from the incoming railroad. Ain't that a kick in the head?

I can't imagine how much reading you must have done to make all these. I did all of my Louise L'Amour and Zane Grey books in my bunk on my fathers fishing boat. If I did a video podcast, I would have to call it Stories from the Galley Table. But I didn't figure on being this ill with ailments this early in life. I started commercial fishing in Kodiak at age eleven. It included a king crabbing trip that I really learned from, like it can get a lot rougher in the winter. Keep up the challenge. I do a lot of research on boats of the northwest. You should check out the Everett Massacre sometime and see if there isn't a story for there.

Good Doc. Not arguing a point just another perspective. I agree that education is powerful. However, I disagree your reasons for not allowing Bass to read. His owner probably saw no point to it. Had no idea ANY person of color would ever be free, but teaching him to handle a pistol was beneficial to both Bass and his owner, considering Bass's position as a slave, he wasn't a field worker. Just another way to look at it. Considering the time period, educating a Black man to empower him wasn't even a thing, let alone even the slightest consideration. That's a 60s Black Panther mentality.
@WildWestExtravaganza3 ай бұрын
Thanks! I hear what you're saying but it was a big enough issue for several states to pass laws prohibiting the teaching of slaves to read or write. One of the big concerns was that they'd forge documents in order to gain their freedom.

It’s not about gaming. It’s about capitalizing on the affinity for the Wild West that exist in the world today. Not only will you gain the support of the Red Dead redemption 2 community that is millions strong.. but you will be filling a void in said community that is urning for more Wild West content as the game is now over a decade old.

All of them went into no Man's Land what used to be called Indian Territory then Oklahoma territory bringing out all sorts of outlaws sometimes lying over a saddle. But then again you might need to put bass Reeves over them to because they had the added benefit of being white.
