Bass Reeves, who was possibly the first African-American deputy U.S. marshal west of the Mississippi River, died. One of 200 deputy U.S. marshals hired by Judge Isaac C. Parker in 1875 to track down criminals in western Arkansas and Indian Territory, he arrested more than 3,000 men and women during his career and was honored posthumously as a “Great Westerner” by the National Cowboy Hall of Fame.
