Bass Reeves
I have been reading some postings on the oklahombres.org forum concerning Deputy U.S. Marshal Bass Reeves' possible service with the Union forces from the I. T. I have done a very quick search and have not found him listed in any units. It is believed that after escaping slavery where he was serving a Confederate officer from Texas, Reeves stayed with the Creek & Seminole Nations and used his gained knowledge of the language and terrain in his law enforcement career. Does anyone have any service information for him? Thanks for any information.
