Billy the Kid & The Lincoln County War: The Boss Desperado & Man Killer of the Southwest
This is the eleventh and final episode over Billy the Kid and the Lincoln County War.
In this Episode, Billy travels from Mesilla to Lincoln before being put up in the Lincoln County House’s Jail. He’s not there long though, before he makes his most famous jailbreak. After returning to Fort Sumner, Billy is eventually hunted down by Pat Garrett yet again.
I finish the episode with the rest of Pat Garrett’s life, as well as the remaining living participants of the story I’ve told thus far.

Billy the Kid & The Lincoln County War: Take Your Medicine
This is the ninth episode of eleven that will discuss Billy the Kid and the Lincoln County War that took place in the 1870s in New Mexico.
I open the episode with Pat Garrett’s life and background before catching up to the story of Billy the Kid. A Secret Service agent is sent at the behest of Dolan and the House to New Mexico to investigate Billy’s new friends and the noose around our hero’s neck tightens.
Billy does ultimately break bad when he murders a man in cold blood which results in two ex-Regulators dying, and eventually, Billy getting arrested by Pat Garrett.
This is a podcast of the people, places, and things of the American West. Think cowboys and Indians, bison and cactus, national parks and ghost towns, Mormons and prospectors, nukes and aliens, Tombstone, the Anasazi, Route 66, and everything in between. I’ll dive deep into historical people and events and the cultures and policies that helped shape this area of the American frontier world that’s left so many of the rest of the planet in envy of the mythic American Southwest.
