Land of Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid - New Mexico Travel - YouTube
There s so much history in this part of New Mexico that one could spend months just traveling around and learning about the wild west and the real characters that made up the landscape and folklore.
William H. Bonney (born William Henry McCarty, Jr. c. November 23, 1859 -- c. July 14, 1881), better known as Billy the Kid and also known as Henry Antrim, was a 19th-century American gunman who participated in the Lincoln County War and became a frontier outlaw in the American Old West. According to legend, he killed 21 men. Events turned bloody on February 18, 1878, when Tunstall was spotted while driving a herd of nine horses towards Lincoln and murdered by William Morton, Jesse Evans, Tom Hill, Frank Baker and Sheriff William J. Brady of Lincoln County -- all members of a posse serving the House, sent to attack McSween's holdings. After murdering Tunstall, the gunmen shot down his prized bay horse. As a wry and macabre joke on Tunstall's great affection for horses, the dead bay's head was then pillowed on his hat
On April 1, the Regulators Jim French, Frank McNab, John Middleton, Fred Waite, Henry Brown and McCarty/Bonney ambushed Sheriff Brady and his deputy, George W. Hindman, killing them both in Lincoln's main street.
On April 4, in what became known as the Gunfight of Blazer's Mills, the Regulators sought the arrest of Buckshot Roberts, a former buffalo hunter whom they suspected of involvement in the Tunstall murder. Roberts refused to be taken alive, although he suffered a severe bullet wound to the chest. During the gun battle, he shot and killed the Regulators' leader, Dick Brewer.
During this time, McCarty became acquainted with an ambitious local bartender and former buffalo hunter named Pat Garrett, Running on a pledge to rid the area of rustlers, Garrett was elected as sheriff of Lincoln County in November 1880..
In early December, Garrett assembled a posse and set out to arrest Billy the Kid. The Kid then carried a $500 bounty on his head that had been authorized by governor Lew Wallace.[92][93]
The posse led by Garrett fared well, and his men closed in quickly. On December 19 McCarty barely escaped a midnight ambush in Fort Sumner, which left one member of the gang, Tom O'Folliard, dead. On December 23 the Kid was tracked to an abandoned stone building located in a remote location known as Stinking Springs (near present-day Taiban, New Mexico). wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_the_Kid

It's kind of cool being in the place that was once the home to the Apache Nation, or where Billy the Kid rode and made his name. The American West is alive and well in New Mexico.

Pie Town, NM (tr.u)
Here's the inside joke to these two videos: the pie eateries have limited hours and days, and when my friend took a road trip both of them happened to be closed. One of the stated destinations on his trip was Pie Town. So, in order to give him a better understanding of what he missed--and perhaps even to rub it in--I filmed myself eating a burger and some pie. This video shows the consumption of Pie Town Cafe's New Mexico (Hot) Apple Pie, and the last video shows consumption of a burger. Both were delicious.

Hubbell Trading Post National Historic Site
Hubbell Trading Post is a meeting ground of two cultures, the Navajo and settlers who came to the area to settle in what is now northeastern Arizona in the late 19th century. These settlers came from Mexico from the south and eastern United States. In 1878, John Lorenzo Hubbell purchased this trading post, ten years after Navajos were allowed to return to their homeland from their U.S.-imposed exile in Bosque Redondo, Fort Sumner, New Mexico. This ended what is known in Navajo history as the Long Walk of the Navajo. The park is located in Ganado, Arizona. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1960.
Pie Town, NM (tr.u)
There are two pie eateries in Pie Town, NM. 1. Pie Town Cafe & 2. Pie-O-Neer Cafe
Where is Pie Town, you ask? Well, take I-25 south from Albuquerque towards Las Cruces. Hang west on US-60.)
This video (and the next one) is somewhat of an inside joke between a friend and me. I arrived RIGHT before closing, driving from Clinton, OK, so that's the reason I state I'll eat quickly.
