One Stubborn Cuss | Butch Cassidy, Principled Outlaw | Bass Reeves, First Black Deputy
Cowboys are the iconic figure of America, with their grit, determination, and wild ways. Today we have the stories of three cowboys who held true to principles, whether they were (or weren't) on the right side of the law. Hear storyteller Rachel MacDonald as she shares the true story of her ancestor, Art Lee, also known as "One Stubborn Cuss," a cowboy from the end of the 19th century and start of the 20th century who used his grit and determination to learn to walk after tragedy, quit drinking, and keep his word. Stay tuned as we hear the story of the West's most principled outlaw, Butch Cassidy, America's very own Robin Hood figure. After Butch, listen in for the story of Bass Reeves, one of the first African American deputies in the West, and how he held true to his principles, even when there was a conflict of interest.
