Deputy United States Marshal Bass Reeves, born  a slave in Arkansas, grew up in Lamar and Grayson Counties, Texas, where he was owned by Colonel George R. Reeves, who later became Speaker of the House of Representatives in the Texas Legislature. As a young man, Bass Reeves fled north to Indian Territory and  became acquainted with the Cherokee, Creek, and Seminole people. He is said to have served as a private in the Union Indian Home Guard regiments during the Civil War. After the war, Reeves settled  in Van Buren, Arkansas, working as a farmer. At times, he served as a guide for deputy U.S. marshals working from the federal courthouse in Fort Smith, Arkansas, to Indian Territory. Reeves  once boasted that he knew Indian Territory "like a chef knows how to cook" and that with his skills and  knowledge of the territory he could make good money as a scout and tracker  peace officers. In 1875, when Judge Isaac C. Parker took charge of the federal court in Fort Smith, Parker appointed Reeves  deputy United States marshal. He is believed to have been one of the first African Americans to receive a commission as a deputy U.S. marshal west of the Mississippi River.

 Reeves worked for thirty-two years as a deputy marshal in  Indian Territory. He was the only legislator to start with the Parker court and work until Oklahoma statehood in 1907. Reeves, who was 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighed 180 pounds, became a celebrity during his lifetime. in  Indian territory. Muskogee Police Chief Bud Ledbetter said of him, “The veteran black cop never shied away from a man. » Reeves became an expert in using pistols and rifles. Local newspapers said he killed 14 outlaws during his time as a peace officer.

 When Reeves began representing Judge Parker, the jurisdiction covered more than 75,000 square miles. Delegates from Fort Smith headed west to Fort Reno, Fort Sill and Anadarko, a journey of more than 800 miles. When a deputy marshal left Fort Smith to capture outlaws in the territory, he took with him a wagon, a cook  as guard, and at least one man from the company. Reeves was transferred to Wetumka, Indian Territory in 1897, then to Muskogee in 1898 after federal courts were opened in the territory. On November 28, 1901, the Chickasaw Enterprise reported that Bass Reeves had arrested more than three thousand men and women for violating the territory's federal laws.

南方軍有黑人??

南方軍中白人占絕大多數，黑人戰爭初期很少，中後期增多一些（畢竟快扛不住了）。此片1862年，屬於戰爭前期，男主作為主人從小培養的貼身侍衛，確實少見，但也不是不可能。
