The algorithm is going to hate this title. But solid information about the history. Thank you Karl

[@jasonprosser7392]

And if it was people simply playing with their kids their ain't nothing wrong with it. Don't gotta be hateful to prove a point.

[@Guillo78]

Well it got recommended to me today dec 33 2020 at 1:00am

[@keithplymale2374]

Keeping this largely forgotten history or miss remembered history accurate and alive is important.

[@taylorkessen8772]

I love the old west vignette videos. They are some of my favorites. PROUD to be a patron of this channel.

[@ethanstang9941]

Thank you for being a patreon.

[@graysonsnyder5048]

As someone who since my earliest memories was fascinated by the old west but have not been able to visit myself, I really appreciate these straight forward guided tour esque videos on location thank you.

[@charlescomly1]

You brought up details about the ambush of Sheriff Brady and his Deputy that I had never heard before.

[@SuperOtter13]

I grew up in Arizona and New Mexico on these stories. Thank you for this! Lincoln county war is a fascinating piece of history.

The hidden history of the regulators trying to stop the guberments secret take over using the secret society of free masons

[@artistaprimus7080]

The more we learn about Billy's life and the injustice he faced, the more tragic and sad his life was. He really had few choices other than what he did.

[@tomsrevenge44]

I really hope this is just part one and that you will be continuing the story.

[@treyh0079]

I could watch your history series all day Karl, excellent story telling and always interesting episodes. Thanks again my man. 👍🏻🤟🏻🙏🏼

[@JohnnyDogs1978]

I love these vids. So much happened in such a short amount of time in "the west", a wild time to be alive.

[@Skip_Esquire]

Thankyou for sharing your passion for history with us Karl. My favourite part of InRangeTV.

[@InrangeTv]

thank you!

[@dragonstormdipro1013]

Damn these red dead redemption 2 side quests are really good.

[@mezzanoon]

Your stories on location are always my favourite videos, and on of the most unique things on KZbin. Still sometimes rewatch your Old West Vignettes, keep it up!

[@studinthemaking]

John T was only 26 years old when he was killed.

[@dsandoval9396]

Wow! So young.

[@Christina-kz9ez]

I believe he was only 24. Still, way too young.

[@grendelgrendelsson5493]

These videos let me see places that I read about when I was growing up. Billy the Kid always stood out for me; living so hard so young and then Pat Garrett turning up in the middle of the night. A great video, thank you very much.

[@tsuhobbs]

Shared! I’m ready for all the other stories. Lol. Love InRange history.

[@ethanm981]

I just finished up all the Old West Vignette videos a day or two ago and you guys put this out, love it! Can't wait for more

[@theblekedet6467]

Cool old west history! Thank you inRange!

[@Chayonray]

Well done, as all of your other historical video essays Karl. I look forward to the next one sir with great anticipation!

[@davidrice7414]

Karl, Thank you. Really enjoyed this. And most other In Range content. But really liked the look at the history

[@johncashwell1024]

Great video Karl! I really enjoy the "on location" history that you present from time to time. Thank you for expanding my knowledge.

[@hisdukeness3037]

I love these history clips fellas.. keep them up

[@SoMDHarleyRider]

Love these! You could do them more often and it wouldn't hurt my feelings at all!

[@bdh985]

Very interesting stuff, I dig the looks at historical events on this channel!

[@47MasoN47]

I love these videos, so much fascinating history in the US. Thanks for continuing to make them!

[@antonioadinolfi4052]

I do like this sort of content! Brilliant! Remarkable! The narrative, the photos and recommended reading. Looking forward for more.

[@Momus121]

These vignettes are some of my favorites on this channel, great content.

[@beaul83]

I love these old west videos. They're the reason I subscribed.

[@elektro3000]

Still my favorite InRange content! I need to get out to the Southwest some time soon.

[@chaskaryan7228]

Please do more of these! They don't get as many views but they're super interesting and we can tell you're passionate about it.

[@Hawaii_NoKaOi]

Great video. Thank you. This content is awesome. Please keep it coming. Looking forward to the next one.

[@KaDaJxClonE]

Love these videos!

[@shootingwithmitch5921]

Really excited for this series!

Nice one Karl. I'm looking forward to more installments 👍

[@ghengisswanson3923]

I love InRange history lessons. It's a bit early for me but hey, I got time to learn me a thing

[@Jerry-dk8se]

Always enjoy your historical lessons, Karl. Thank you

[@jaredlostetter265]

Keep doing these videos Karl!!! So good!!!!

[@commander31able60]

Karl: ... much more bloodshed to come. Me: excellent, I'll get the popcorn.

[@grumblesa10]

Great overview and I really appreciate the incorporation of the latest research regarding Antrim's family and his early life. There's so much about this guy that is romanticized or just plain wrong.

[@DanGoodShotHD]

Very cool. I've always had a deep interest in the Lincoln County wars and Billy the Kid in particular. Good stuff Carl.

[@gwaters8067]

Really enjoy these historical vids, thank you Karl

[@jasoncarskadon6809]

This is great karl, I love the history of the Lincoln county wars. I also enjoyed the history of Billy the kid that I didn't know. Thank you karl.

[@derweibhai]

I was just there!!!! I went to see the Trinity site in October, and hit Lincoln on the way. Cool little town. Thanks for the video Karl!

[@razor1uk610]

Thank you Karl and any assisting persons, family, gofers (go for this, go get that...) etc. I really do find your historical & foody output, insightful, well delivered and actually on location(s) (or as close as can be to it/them), a great and apt counter balance to your other great content; dang it Karl ;) it sounds/reads like I'm blowing virtual smoke up your keaster, apologies if so inducely felt, but rightly needed indeed IMHO. P.S. I hope you 'get' my humorous typings

[@reillyberg7761]

I really enjoy this series and this topic. Can't wait for more.

[@JScottCee]

Great episode, guys! Been to Lincoln myself, so much history there and tons to see! Quite a little place 👍

[@kenhelmers2603]

Great stuff! Please continue :)

[@jameshealy4594]

That wind filter is doing a fantastic job, thanks for thinking of the viewers and making the upgrade.

[@RodZZilla]

I enjoy your historical content. Thank you!

[@jonskowitz]

I am suddenly feeling the need to collect all of these vignettes and other sources all together into a playlist called, "The Lincoln County War." I wonder if a movie could be made about the topic ;p

[@Lutrasaurus]

Very interesting. Thank you for sharing.

[@Gerrygambone]

As always Karl your vignettes are brilliant

[@timberdrifter8225]

Keep it up Karl. Good stuff.

[@Porty1119]

Thank you for the video, nice to see you in New Mexico! I crossed over to the dark side (Arizona) for mining business this weekend myself.

[@mclang5932]

I love western movies and old books like Riders of the Purple Sage and Morgan Kane series. Thanks these videos, much appreciated!

[@korbell1089]

Not sure how old you are but most young people have never even heard of Zane Grey. My grandmother had his whole collection in hardback when I was younger and I grew up reading him.

[@mclang5932]

@@korbell1089 Not old enough fortunately to have bought any of those Zane Grey books new, but my father's attic was a treasure trove in the nineteens :)

[@jamesross1834]

I’m glad I got the email from Patreon telling me about this video because it didn’t show up on my feed and when I went to find it. I was for some reason Unsubscribed from this channel. This series is one of the main reasons I’m supporting the channel.

[@wehraboohunterssvu316]

the lincoln, NM police benevolent association has issued a statement condemning this anti-police video and stating that brady and hindman have been cleared of all charges of wrongdoing in a thorough 3 hour long investigation by the lincoln, NM sheriff's department.

[@10inmaine]

dirty cops

[@razor1uk610]

Apropirating history technically not directly related/descended to their current offices; so what has or will come out that some of the more recent officers have allegedly done which could be thought of as abusing their badge/office, which requires a 'historical statement of an exoneration', which could be allegedly used towards helping them in the eyes of the public around them??

[@PaladinStem]

Still loving these, they need to get more attention than they get.

[@1804unclesam]

Now we get to look forward to a new series of one of the most famous (infamous) sagas of the Wild West era. I for one can’t wait, thanks Karl.

[@xgford94]

Love the History, keep it coming

[@A8vscRrabbit]

This was an awesome history short. Thank you

[@OrangeAmped]

I enjoy your Wild West historical narratives. Thank you!

[@korbell1089]

Having grown up in ruidoso NM in the 70's, even though I have never liked Billy the Kid, I have always been a Tunstall fan, so seeing a monument to Sheriff Brady and Hindman made my blood boil to see such a thing for corrupt law enforcement. Btw, my great great whatever uncle was Jim Greathouse (not Jenny as that silly movie portrayed). To those on the other side of the fence, just remember this event was over a 130 years ago and most of what happened has passed into the myths of time.

Just discovered your channel.....its great viewing for a Brit👍👍

[@VladimirGluten47]

Great stuff.

[@simonwhite8474]

As a Brit, I'm always rather surprised that the most passionate KZbin videos about US history involve firearms. As a nation you've brought the world so much more....and thank you. Really, Thank You. The industrial scale production of Penicillin was developed in the US from fungal spores from a street market in New York. The first men on the moon were Yanks. Deep sea exploration, that was you guys. Moby Dick. The Wright Brothers. (We'll forget about Twilight).And before you ask.....I have shotguns, rifles and pistols. Here. Legally. In the UK.There's no further point to this.....I'm a little pissed on homemade Gin.Cheers.

[@KnifeCursed]

I’d love to see more Billy the Kid content.

[@vilstef6988]

I liked & subscribed. It showed up in my KZbin feed.

[@stevenandbobthedog]

I wish the history channel would give you a show, I could watch a ton of these

[@leroyjenkins5595]

Thank you for the history lesson, it was great 👍

[@SNOUPS4]

I wonder if Sarah Noir lives in Karl's glasses, because that's the only place where we seem to ever see her, sadly... Thanks for a good video!

[@NateTheBrewer]

I guess it had to be based on something but Open Range seems to get a lot of themes from this story.

[@funkyneil2000]

Loved Billy the Kid since I saw Young Guns as a kid! brilliant to get more information, thanks!

[@johnnybagofdoughnuts4193]

These vignettes make me want to move to Arizona. I’ve not just the history, but the landscapes are quite pretty

[@viciousslayer]

the best free content on youtube. im not american but i love the vignette vids.

[@DJ118USMC]

Billy the kid died in my great great great great grandfathers house. He also saved one of my relatives.

[@funkyneil2000]

Pete Maxwell's house?

[@FuzzyBrains555]

Loved my time in Arizona, Sierra Vista area, have always wanted to come back and visit the state.

[@kodiakkeith]

I hope there are some follow-ups to this. Very interesting.

[@dragonstormdipro1013]

Excellent video. Does anyone know the guns used in these shootouts?

[@mauserk98bnz44]

I read the book Billy the Kid written by Robert Utley which seems to be a very accurate account of his life several times and started to become very interested in his life. I watched the Young Gun movies and enjoyed them as well. Last year we went to Lincoln county and seen where it all took place and went into the old courthouse and Tunstell store etc. It is a wonderful place of history and should always be preserved and not lost/forgotten. We also went to Hico Texas to see the controversial grave of Brushy Bill that you see in the opening scene of Young Guns 2. There is a museum there as well of course it is small but interesting never the less. Great Video I was surprised to see anything on this subject 👍

[@ericdee6802]

Excellent narrator. Interesting times in history to say the least, what a way to live.

[@williamfoote1609]

Awesome place to visit as well. Brewery in town that makes some excellent beer as well.

[@senavicente]

Good stuff

[@markwatsonOHANA]

Great video friend, 4 years ago. I went to New Mexico and went to Billys Grave to pay resepects..All my life I have watched everything I could about Billy..The first real lawenforcement in America..Brady and Hindman got served Justice..And Billy got away...

[@conductorcammon]

More please.

[@JohnnyRebWasATexan]

Bob Boze Bell of True West magazine has a magnificent take on these events. You can find them on the internet. I highly reccomend Bob's description of the events. He also has illustrations of the fight in the town. "True West" magazine.
