LINCOLN NEW MEXICO, BILLY THE KID, DRIVING TOUR

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

A Walk Around The Santa Fe Farmers Market, Santa Fe, New Mexico

Voted one of the “Top Ten Farmers’ Markets” by Sunset Magazine, the Santa Fe Farmers’ Market is one of the oldest, largest, and most successful growers’ markets in the country. Serving more than 150 farmers and producers in 15 Northern New Mexico counties, the Market brings fresh food, education, and fun to our community and promotes small farms and sustainable agriculture in Northern New Mexico.
Unlike most farmers’ markets in the US, the Santa Fe Farmers’ Market assures that all products sold by its vendors are always locally grown by the people selling them. 100% of the vegetables, fruits, and nursery plants available at Santa Fe Farmers’ Markets are grown right here in northern New Mexico. The same goes for at least 70% of the ingredients and materials used to make all processed and craft items. Furthermore, no reselling is permitted. That means that the people doing the growing and producing are the same smiling folks who sell those products to you at Market.
