"All heroes have fatal flaws and a moment of defining hubris, but few rise from the ashes to achieve greater heights. In 1884, Deputy U.S. Marshal Bass Reeves was arrested for murder and placed among his own prisoners in the federal jail in Fort Smith, Arkansas, known infamously as Hell on the Border. It was the single greatest setback of his illustrious career, but it wouldn't be his last mistake or trial by fire. We now meet Reeves again in the 1890s as he proceeds, past his prime, through the valleys and shadows of Indian and Oklahoma Territories"-- Provided by publisher.
