Bass was sort of Rooster Cogburn (of True Grit) with a tan. One thing not mentioned in the Wikipedia article you were pinged with, is that he was illiterate, and would dictate his reports to folks he stayed with along the trail. Actually, a Denzel Washington movie of his life would have been both more original and interesting.
