    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.
  • 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!
  • 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!
  • 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.

    I of course had to go visit where Billy the kid was when I was out west...so cool, amazing just think what all really went down...history is great

    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...

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

    Thank you so much for uploading this video all the way from Australia 🇦🇺 I’ve always wanted to go to Lincoln 😭
  • 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.

    You made this on my birthday! Very good video
  • That man inside should have been more inviting and friendly...I'm going home, Rusty! 🤠

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