This is the tenth episode of eleven that will discuss Billy the Kid and the Lincoln County War that took place in New Mexico.
In this episode, Billy the Kid, Billy Wilson, Rudabaugh, and Tom Pickett are taken from Stinking Springs to Fort Sumner before heading to Las Vegas and then to Santa Fe. There is a tense moment on the train platform in Las Vegas. The men are interviewed by various newspapers. The Governor still ignores Billy & his pardon as the men sit in the Santa Fe jail. Finally, Billy’s taken to Mesilla to sit in the corrupt Judge Bristol’s court.
I end the episode with the court hearing, the verdict, and the sealing of Billy the Kid’s fate.

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.
