OLD LINCOLN TOWN NM...BILLY THE KID.

rusty78609...This old town was the center of the Lincoln County War 1876-79. Billy the Kid played a big part. A LINK TO AMAZON PRODUCTS: amzn.to/2LcnDCe thank you for using the AMAZON LINK!!!

[@guillermo3564]

his desire to hang on to that 5 spot precluded his seeing the courthouse from which Billy made the escape. The bullet hole at the bottom of the staircase on which Bell was shot, the room Billy was held in and shot Ollinger from, plus a complete list and short bio of all the participants in the dispute are in the courthouse. It's the most interesting and educational spot on the entire sight. (Btw Rusty, la placita means the little plaza. Palace is palacio.) By not walking back up on the other side of the street he missed 4 of the sites that are an integral part of the story.

[@williamsherman1089]

I know, it pissed me off too, I definitely wanted to see the courthouse too lol, he walked in the office for nothing

[@Gotimenick]

Just pay the $5!!

[@matthewmoneypit1558]

Exactly!!

[@wolfganger7012]

Pay the five bucks

[@leighstephenson6164]

Rusty you missed the most important and most historic part of the Lincoln County War. The first building you went in is where it all happened. I spent 2 hours in that place.

Hi Rusty, What a neat little town...and, well preserved. Love the old adobe. Interesting walk-a-long...thank you. Enjoy your weekend!

[@stevemason5173]

After watching your full video, I realized there hasn't been much change there, since I was there in the late 70s, except some new signs and it looks much cleaner. It still seems like a ghost town and hardly anyone around. You would think with this being a major part and place of old west history it would be more popular and more ways of to attract tourist. Along the route leading into Lincoln, I don't recall not one sign that would attract tourist. It has been over 40 years since my visit and experience there, but I would have thought it would have had more wide spread publicity by now. Oh well, I did enjoy your video...

[@FOLLOWJESUS-fg8hs]

I enjoyed you walking around this little town. I would have enjoyed being there with you. But in away i was im watching you in video.lol thank you I enjoyed my walk with you today. Hope you are enjoying your day.

[@gregchatham3890]

Enjoyed the video and it made me feel as though I was walking down that street again, I was there in November of 2022! It really is a neat little town and it’s definitely somewhere I could hang my hat at. Thanks for sharing the video and I enjoyed tagging along!

We went there as kids. Our parents took us while we were learning about it all for the state history. Pretty cool.

My wife and I was there last Christmas and the streets were lined with sacks with candles in them for half a mile on both sides. That guy you talked to at the desk was one of the State guys that was having to pick them all back up.

[@tracyphillips3325]

Been here with you for a while Rusty 👍

[@rlkiser]

This guy sound exactly like Billy Bob Thornton!

[@HerbWalker]

At 7:58 if you look right and UP, thats the 2nd floor window that Billy layed old Olinger to rest from , with his OWN shotgun. :) He had been mistreating Billy while in that jail, and Billy paid him back in spades! :)

The visitors were as interesting as the history - it makes sense to me that our Rusty was a newspaperman. Me too, see.

[@billyy7960]

Hey rusty I don't know if you still read comments. But I have seen this video more than once. This time I caught where you are from. My family name is yett. There are several places in burnet and marble falls named after my family name.they first aettled out there after 1840 something. There are still a bunch of yett family out there

[@fiddlefooted1533]

We were there 2 years ago. Enjoyed Lincoln, but your walking tour was Great. We stayed in that hotel and dining room.. Thats where Pat Garret stayed before he killed Billie.

Great video Rusty ! You can buy that converted Lincoln school house "B&B" for 950,000 !!!

[@Nostrildomus]

Like the way you brag about being from Texas Rusty . Thanks

[@JohninTucson]

Great walk -about Rusty, thanks for taking us ! Also, the bed and breakfast that is for sale must have a pretty steep asking price if they are being represented by Sotheby's (same as the auction house, just high end real estate). Just goes to show all of us that inexpensive real estate is become more and more scarce. I will be looking for a lot myself here in Tucson when the time comes and I am seeing less and less decent lots for sale that won't break my piggy bank too badly. I am going for a Park Model or small mobile home so I will always have my home base and my own land so I will always have a home that is free and clear ! Thanks again for sharing your time with us Rusty, you really do seem like an old friend that just dropped in for a spell.

I think they charge the $5 fee to pay the security guard $5 an hour.

[@mikeb6386]

If u paid for the ticket how would get the old buildings in as they are all locked.

[@Charles53412]

Both Bell and Ollinger's markers are outside the old courthouse. Bell's is out back, and Ollinger's is just around the corner, by the big tree near the eastside stairs The Mcsween house is actually between the little red house, and the Tunstall/McSween store, in the big empty lot. The Marker in your video, for McSweens house was in the wrong spot. It's always sat in front of the empty lot. I'm talking like forever ! Not sure why it's at the corner of the little red house in the video. Wish I knew why they moved it ! John Tunstall, and Alex McSween are buried behind the Tunstall/McSween store. Across the street just to the east. Is a marker by the side walk, where Sheriff Brady was shot. Missed a lot in that short walk. May be next time !

[@englishcowboy9155]

the guy behind the desk, wrongly assumed you,d done your homework before you walked into the place, but the biggest howler was when you walked across the road and wondered if the remains of building was the remains of a jail where billy the kid was held.??

[@jamesortiz5388]

They have sidewalks? That's new since I was there. There is a shootout re enactment during the summer. I'm sure you'll get your fill of crowds during Smokey days in Capitan.

That "hotel" at the beginning was a school built in the 1930's.

[@stevemason5173]

I passed through this place back in the late 70s. I got to visit and see many of the historical sites and enjoyed a meal before I was arrested and detained for excessive loud mufflers on my car. I did notice this "BARNEY FIFE" type sheriff kinda following me while I was there seeing the sites, but didn't think much about it as it is a small community. After seeing all I could see I was on my way, and again noticed "Barney" in my rear view mirror. I was hauled back to the sheriff's office for about a 4 hour wait. A man came into the room with some paper work for me to sign and pay a 40 dollar fine with 12 dollar court cost. There was no court involved or even a judge. I paid all the costs and was taken back to my car and on my way again, much quicker this time. The man who drove me back to my car told me the arresting "BARNEY FIFE" sheriff didn't like long hairs. I told him very politely "THANK YOU" for the ride and drove about 90 miles an hour for the next 50 miles or so. I couldn't get outa there fast enough...LOL Allot of the signs and things you show here look different or weren't there when I was. Thank you Rusty for this interesting, updated, video. Although my visit there wasn't very enjoyable, but was kinda weird to walk the same halls as Billy did...LOL Nice, interesting place to visit though...

Hey Rusty! That security guard must have the most boring job in the world. I would have thought he would be thrilled to have a visitor like you. Looks like he has about as much to do as the Maytag repairman.
