My bad, he was brownskin.

rufus buck was dark but he looked amerindian (he was afro-native)

Named for their leader, 18-year-old Rufus Buck, the gang had a total of five members. Sam Sampson and Maoma July were both Creek Indians. The brothers Lewis and Lucky Davis were Creek freedmen. Buck was the son of a black woman and Creek Indian father.


The Buck Gang went on a vicious two-week spree of robbery, rape, and murder. The apparently random violence terrified not only the local white settlers but also the neighboring Indians and African-American freedmen. the gang began holding up various stores and ranches in the Fort Smith area. But the violence wasn’t random. The gang’s leader, Rufus Buck, the 18-year-old son of a black mother and Creek father, burned with a zealot’s passion: he dreamed that his gang’s spree would trigger an Indian uprising that would expel the illegal white majority and reclaim the whole Territory for its native people.

They were finally caught up with outside Muskogee, Oklahoma by a combined force of U.S. Deputy Marshals and the Creek Lighthorse police, led by Marshal S. Morton Rutherford on August 10th. The execution of the five members of the Rufus Buck Gang on July 1, 1896 was the second to last execution to occur at Fort Smith. The Buck Gang were the only men to die on the gallows in Fort Smith for rape.

The movie looks trash. No need for think pieces on movies that don't matter. I'd like to see a gritty Black Western with Sergio Leone vibes. Someone get Antoine Fuqua on the phone.

This movie was actually good

A week ago no one knew who the real stage coach Mary was, this week they are complaining about her casting.

How come no one is complaining about LaKeith Stanfield playing Cherokee Bill?

They are. And I agree. Recasting an entire Native American gang as black was ridiculous. Why not just make a fictional gang? I was furious when I went to research the real Stagecoach Mary and saw that she looked NOTHING like the actress. This is that times 10.
