So many of us are drawn to the history of the American West. It’s not something we can explain to others. It’s a deep recognition of something out there in those merciless and unforgiving hills and plains that we also find resides in us. There is a resounding energy that reverberates and echoes down through the decades, the centuries. Outlaws, lawmen, bounty hunters, guerilla fighters, sharpshooters, showmen, snake-oil salesmen, tall tales, short tales, legends, and facts - they appear and just as quickly disappear in the mists of history. Join us as we search them out.

    Can't Make A Hero Out of Him | A Sophie Poe Interview

    Our friend Mark Lee Gardner shared an audio clip with us consisting of a nine-minute interview with Sophie Poe about Billy the Kid and Pat Garrett! Mr. Gardner graciously gave us the permission to share the clip he sent over. The clip is from a 2-record vinyl LP from 1963 called "The Badmen." According to the label on the record, the interview was conducted by Fred Mazulla and W.T. Moyers It is always so amazing to hear the voice of someone who was THERE! Sophie Poe was married to John W. Poe. She knew Pat Garrett and many other principle players in Lincoln County. She heard first hand accounts from the lips of the people who were there, and we get to hear HER voice! Many thanks again to Mark Lee Gardner for bringing this to our attention!
