    Bob Olinger - All's Well That Ends Well

    Bob Olinger was and still is one of the most hated figures in all of old west history, the despicable villain in Billy The Kid's story. Olinger was a strange character, a crooked cop who rustled cattle in his free time, who dressed like he was doing Wild Bill cosplay and performed knife and gun tricks for anyone who would watch. Was Olinger really a "damned rascal", a "murderer from the cradle" like some said? Or was he unfairly slandered by later dime novel authors, like others said?

    Tombstone Poetry From The Old Seven Rivers Cemetery

    The Seven Rivers Cemetery was always known as a boot hill graveyard full of bad men and outlaws "buried with their boots on" like William Johnson, who lost his head at dinner, along with other troublemakers, rustlers, desperadoes, gunslingers, Seven Rivers Warriors gang members, and all manner of other lost souls. But the reality was a lot more complicated. So join me for the sad story of a small town that rose and fell in Southeast New Mexico one hundred and fifty years ago.
