About this episode

Premier deputy marshal noir des Etats-Unis en 1875, Bass Reeves est l’objet depuis une dizaine d’années d’un d’intérêt croissant. Grâce à plusieurs historiens qui ont sondé les archives et retracé sa vie, ce personnage a pris une place dans le récit de la conquête de l’Ouest américain. Déjà au centre de toute une littérature de Western, romans comme bande-dessinées, il a récemment fait son apparition dans les séries télé, notamment Gunslingers ou Watchmen, rien que ça ! Bass Reeves est devenu une figure de la « frontière », ce front pionnier qui progressait vers l’ouest à la fin du XIXe siècle aux Etats-Unis, et en même temps, un symbole d’émancipation pour les Noirs américains. On va donc revenir aujourd’hui sur la vie hors du commun de Bass Reeves, officier de police noir dans une Amérique ségrégationniste, devenu expert dans la traque des criminels de l’Ouest sauvage.
