Billy the Kid & The Lincoln County War: Regulators Strike Blows in Defense of Justice
This is the fifth episode of eleven that will discuss Billy the Kid and the Lincoln County War that took place in the 1870s in New Mexico.

I then recount the sporadic violence that culminates in the assassination of the corrupt Sheriff Brady in the street of Lincoln. Shortly afterwards, the Regulators hunt down one of Tunstall’s killers in a scene later known as the Fight at Blazers Mill which sees the leader of the Regulators killed.
The episode ends with a legal battle at the District Court of Lincoln County where things do not go as one would imagine.

Billy the Kid & The Lincoln County War: They Will Have to Kill Me First
This is the fourth episode of eleven that will discuss Billy the Kid and the Lincoln County War that took place in the 1870s in New Mexico.
In this episode, I discuss the violent history of Lincoln County since its establishment after the Civil War. I then return to the story where we see the future Regulators, including Billy the Kid, gain badges and hunt down Tunstall’s killers. But immediately, Billy the Kid gets arrested by the corrupt Sheriff Brady. After being released, the future Regulators posse up yet again and successfully apprehend a few of the murderers, which leads to the killing of three men. The Governor and the military eventually get involved at the behest of the Santa Fe Ring and the McSween faction’s back gets put up against the wall.
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.
