The history of the Old West in the Indian Territories is a unique and vibrant tapestry that connects the four corners of America, unlike any other place during this exciting time. Our goal is to reveal the untold stories from that era, showcasing the contributions of the brave men and women who lived through it, especially those whose exploits have been overlooked and remain hidden. We aim to highlight the efforts of those who fought to demonstrate courage, honor, and a commitment to justice for all. These individuals crossed social and racial barriers to serve a greater purpose in the face of tremendous odds.
Bass Reeves epitomizes the courage, commitment, and integrity required for such efforts, but he was not alone. While we seek to spotlight the life of U.S. Deputy Marshal Bass Reeves, we recognize that his full story cannot be told without sharing and examining the lives of many heroes and outlaws of his time. These individuals dedicated themselves fully to law and justice. They left an incredible mark that continues to impact us all today. These untold stories possess the power to connect Americans to our national pride, compassion, and shared humanity.  Select programming is funded in part by the Muskogee Tourism Authority dba Visit Muskogee.

The Indian Territory Pistoliers are an Old West re-enactment group based out of Fort Smith, Arkansas. From their pistols all the way to the poker chips and other props that are used, the group is known for creating authentic experiences that allow an audience to truly go back in time to a day when Judge Isaac C. Parker and his deputy U.S. Marshals faced off against some of the most infamous outlaws of the American West.
