The Wild West wasn’t what Hollywood made it out to be. After the Civil War, chaos reigned, outlaws ran rampant, and lawmen became legends. One lawman few remember today, Bass Reeves, used clever disguises and rode a white horse—earning a sterling reputation that inspired the fictional Lone Ranger. Host @domflemons uncovers the real stories behind the myths of the frontier.

Fans of old time music should check out this video if they haven’t heard of Dom Flemons. A great look at rhythm bones up close. There’s no “Illinois connection” to this tweet, apologies for breaking character. (Although he does play at Fitzgeralds when touring.)
A great performance by Dom Flemons at the Kennedy Center in August 2024. It’s not just a concert it’s also a history lesson. | Dom Flemons - Millennium Stage (August 16, 2024) youtube.com/watch?v=yvxIBYMk…
