## Resource

Join me as we examine five of the most dangerous and overlooked figures in Old West history. First up is Jesse Evans, the New Mexico outlaw who rode with Billy the Kid, helped spark the Lincoln County War, and then vanished without a trace. Next is Nate Champion, the cowboy who stood alone against fifty hired killers during Wyoming's Johnson County War. After that, we cover Billy Brooks, the buffalo hunter turned lawman turned horse thief who killed or wounded at least fifteen men across Kansas before meeting his end at the hands of vigilantes. Then we discuss Barney Riggs, the convicted murderer who earned a pardon from Yuma Territorial Prison, only to get into even more trouble back in Texas. And finally, we close things out with Old Man Clanton, the patriarch of the Clanton family, one of the key figures behind the Cochise County Cowboys in Tombstone, and the man whose crimes along the Mexican border made him one of the most feared men in all of Arizona Territory. This compilation is for all of you OTR truckers, shift workers, and insomniacs.
