Billy the Kid's Waco - Siege & Arson in 1878

InRange is an entirely viewer supported project:
/ inrangetv
In what became known as "The Battle For Lincoln", Billy the Kid and the Regulators, along with Alex McSween and his family, held their own defending Lincoln and the McSween home from Sheriff Peppin, his law enforcement and even the US Military.
This became the final show down, but not yet the end of the Lincoln County War, ending in a final desperate escape from a burning home which was set a blaze by Sheriff Peppin's men.

900 yard kill shot without a scope. Absolute legend.

I realize these old west videos don't get the numbers your other ones do, but they are easily my favorite

InRangeTV: Come for the rad firearms content, stay for the equally rad historical content.

As the old saying goes, "Nothin' new under the sun." That includes government tactics.

[@andrewprice1774]

And yet the government just can't fathom why the public doesn't trust them

"Territorial New Mexico was a very corrupt place " The more things change, the more they stay the same.

I have always appreciated the historical vignettes.

I liked the maps as a reference for the scale and geography of the area. Really helps me visualize the events without being there.

I sit in Ruidoso, NM as I write this. I have been visiting Lincoln every summer for over 20 years. The town of Lincoln still persists in two factions telling two stories of the Lincoln County War. Most seem to support Tunstall/McSween and the Regulators but there is a restaurant run by members of the Dolan Clan who will argue their side. And it is unfortunate that local LE have a display in the Lincoln County court house which is biased against the Regulators. I encourage all who can to visit and learn first hand the stories of the Lincoln County War.

I love these old west vignettes.

I love these Old West videos. Presenting the stories without the mythologised elements actually humanises them and makes the lives of the people involved seem all the more remarkable. They're not black and white hats any more, but flawed human beings struggling to survive in absolutely insane circumstances. Susan MacSween must have been hard as nails.

That was the best western vignette so far. Good job Karl.

[@greyhoundTex]

I love these historical vignettes.

Karl, I love the way you tell the true history in these videos. Thank you.

[@JackHiper]

500 yards is challenging for me with a modern rifle. 900 is amazing.

Love these stories. It really illuminates the reality of the late 1800’s, corrupt government officials in cahoots with oligarchs murdering the competition. I did not know Susan Mcsween’s incredible story, and am grateful that you made sure to share it.

[@jayzenitram9621]

Excellent documentary! I take pride in the fact that I made a tiny, tiny contribution to making it happen. Thanks Karl.

[@minisforerbody]

What an interesting story with somewhat of a positive outcome for at least one of the characters. She sounds like a properly strong and brave woman. I love the channel by the way Karl, it’s certainly one of my favourites for the more insightful and thought provoking content. Regardless of weather it’s firearms or history such as this and your other vignettes. Much love from England, thanks for doing what you do.

As usual , the reality behind historic events is always more fascinating than the myths because it's about real people not story book characters. Thanks Inrange TV.
