I love KZbin just for this reason. You can visit anywhere and learn anything. Great Video!

I visited Lincoln about 4 years ago. It is truly an amazing place if you love old west history. The town is pretty much isolated and hasn't changed much, if at all, from the late 1800's. And to see that it is situated in a river valley with mountains rising up immediately on both sides of the road thru town, there was literally no room for the town to expand. For one low price you purchase a day pass for entry into all the buildings. I think it was around $10. It's cheap and well worth it. Thanks go out to the State of New Mexico for doing such an outstanding job of preserving history.

Thank you so much for the wonderful description of the town. My family and I plan on seeing this beautiful town. Imagine a town untouched by today's blight. Thanks again and will be seeing Lincoln soon.

Was there last month. (April 2023). So very interesting. Worth the stop.

[@skubz81]

Fantastic interview! Love hearing these old timers talk, they always have the best details. Respect your elders because absolutely everything that sustains your way of life was built by their hands.

Thank you

great video, very informative

Thank you.. glad you liked it!!🙂

[@edwardmounsey9208]

The store is amazing, there are so many items that appear to be authentic goods sold in the early days of the store’s existence. I noticed in particular some original replacement wagon axles with a Studebaker name. I suppose these predated the Studebake automobile compay

[@briankelly147]

The town is incredible...just like it was when Billy rode there.

[@riverraisin1]

Studebaker was the premier wagon maker of the 1800's

I love Billy the Kid history. I would love to visit Lincoln. I also watch a channel called All Things Billy. Great Billy info on the channel.

[@jacquelineflower9077]

Iv always wondered what would billy make of the world today

[@cynthiacarter665]

I wonder how many times Billy escaped due to being wirey and small. He climbed up a chimney, worked hands out of handcuffs. Now I learn he fit under floor joists eating canned peaches while his hunters were stepping above inches from his person.

[@ettaplace6716]

Omg those rude women!!!😳🙄 they can’t see he’s trying to film?

[@briankelly147]

I rewatched it. Didnt realize how annoying it was. I will go there again. I wanna get more footage and stories

[@a6herre]

😂I was thinking the same thing ! I said a few things to myself .

It was Big Jim French not Billy that was hidden under the floor of Tunstall's Store.

[@brucecaldwell5239]

My parents had a house about a mile outside of Lincoln until they sold it about two years ago. My dad was a retired judge from Texas too.

[@briankelly147]

Awesome!!! I would love to have a house there!

[@Idol76]

Isn't there technology to see where the bodies are without digging everything up behind the Tunstall store?

[@stephenjones9604]

Yeah it's called Ground penatrating radar.

[@Idol76]

@@stephenjones9604 they should definitely use that then.

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

I wish they would accuately rebuild that low Adobe wall and gate so that we could get a better sense of what happened. I havss no idea how close to the road that Brady was travelling on that wall was.

[@williamsteele1409]

that judge seems fair to billy,s plight piity they were corrupt back then

[@DrDoom-uu3cj]

At 5:00 minute mark......ground penetrating radar could find the bodies.

Great interview thanks, I'm planning a visit next June any tips to make the most of the visit?

[@PeakaboVaas]

Make sure you get there late morning, everything closes 3pm or 4pm give yourself plenty of time. You’d be surprised there’s a lot of reading

[@briankelly147]

Yes...watch Youngs Guns 1 and 2 to prepare!!!🙂

[@StevenSchoolAlchemy]

Need a bigger piece of the pie

[@stevep4574]

I'd be bored to death, no wonder Billy was crazy.

[@cynthiawashburn771]

Isn't it funny that throughout all the murders, on both sides, the only name that is remembered is that of a boy. Too bad they are all just spreading the lies they have been told. Slandering the name of Billy. It would be awesome if, before people spoke of him, they actually read some of the series about Billy and who he really was growing up in Silver City with his Aunt and cousin Joseph. They would understand better that he didn't drink or dance or kill anyone who wasn't trying to kill him. He wasn't crazy nor did he travel like every one says he did.

[@briankelly147]

Very well said!!

My old friend is from there. A lot of family stories and hate between the 2 sides and to date both relatives now would say the other side was aggressor or problem. A very good history and historic area.

[@truthmarshal9900]

I don’t really know what is true or not anymore. I have read and watched about everything I could get my hands on regarding billy and the Lincoln County Wars, including the same for Sheriff Pat Garrett. People then were like people today, they lie, embellish, steal and kill for money and other reasons. Even the people of that period and Lincoln didn’t know the truth. All you can do is rely on facts and records from that time period. I do the same with the life of Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, Doc and Wild West. What I have found was many stories were repeated and exaggerated to sell stories, similar to media and Hollywood today. And the characters themselves liked the fame, seeming to always share stories that would make them appear less guilty or shine. Same as today. I would encourage folks to research and look for truth if they really enjoy history. I have always been fascinated with the Old West. But as I became older, I wanted to know the facts instead of the legends. I don’t know how many men billy killed, but there are only a few on record that I know of, not 21 as reported. And I learned something today that I hadn’t heard, don’t know if it was true yet, but Billy allegedly only knew Tunstall for three months or so. Anyway, please share if anyone has any facts. I love true history. Thanks.

[@TinaDelong-rs3dv]

read the book John Tunstall and you will understand why Billy acted like he did after his murder he was like a father to him and Tunstall was murdered
