Welcome, history buffs and true crime enthusiasts! On Today's episode of The Cowboy Up podcast we have Author Mark Archuleta with us and we're diving deep into the extraordinary, perplexing, and often contradictory life of Henry Starr – a man who defied easy labels.

Was he a product of the rough-and-tumble Indian Territory, or was a life of crime his destiny? Starr, a Cherokee outlaw, an author, and even a recipient of a presidential pardon, lived more lives than most. We'll explore why this bank robber, who was described as the opposite of brutal, garnered respect even from lawmen. Listen in as Mark unravels the enigma of Henry Starr:

Was he a gentleman bandit, driven by injustice or greed? And in the end, does he deserve to be remembered as a folk hero, or something far more complex?

Jason Khalaf retired from the Army after a military career that started in the Navy. Jason's goal when he started his military career was to serve America. Jason and his wife were drawn to Basecamp for Veterans and that initial involvement placed Jason in the role of being served by the Basecamp Team to assist in his post-retirement world.

Basecamps contribution helped to repair their communication which ultimately saved their marriage. Jason and his wife Gerri Ann took so much away from their experience that they became Basecamp Mentors.

Since this is Memorial Day Weekend we felt it was important to interview a Veteran Who is Serving other Veterans. Basecamp in funded by donations. Please visit bcampinc.com if you are so inclined and give what feels right.
