Local history, culture and heritageSituated in the heart of historic outlawcountry and stomping grounds of SheriffPat Garrett, the notorious LincolnCounty Wars and the legendary Billy theKid, the owners of Twin Canyon Ranchwill find themselves smack in the mid-dle of an area filled with fascinating her-itage of the Old West. With Lincoln,NM, located nearby, the entire surround-ing area is steeped in Wild West history.More than a hundred years ago, Billythe Kid and many of his gang may havetraveled on horseback across the ruggedterrain that is Twin Canyon Ranch.
Billy the Kid and theLincoln County WarsThe story of the Lincoln County Warsand Billy the Kid has all the elementsthat made the West wild. The story startswith a group of ex-army men from the
bloody Civil War who were running thetown with monopolistic zeal. The prizewas not only the profitable main store,but also lucrative government cattlecontracts.
For all the murders and countlessother offenses committed during theLincoln County War on both sides, Billythe Kid was the only person evercharged with breaking the law – anincredibly unjust thing, especially con-sidering he was just one of the six gun-men in the shooting for which he wascharged. This made him a fugitive, andhe became the leader of a small gang ofrustlers that terrorized the county untilhe was caught in December of 1880.Billy was tried and sentenced to hang.
Well known throughout New Mexico onthe afternoon of April 28, 1881, he cata-
pulted himself into international legendwhen he escaped from jail. During thejailbreak, he killed a guard who hadtaunted him constantly about the painsof death by hanging and had dared Billyto try to break out so he could shoot him.As a testament to how well liked he wasin Lincoln, he stayed around for an hourmaking a speech to the locals and thenwent around shaking hands. He left thetown singing on a borrowed horse thathe actually returned as he promised hewould.
The official record states that 76 daysafter his escape, Billy the Kid wasshot through the heart in adarkened room by law-man Pat Garrett. Lifeexpectancy
in the west, due to this lawlessness, was short. Many ofthe men who were killed in the Lincoln County Warhad not yet turned 20. There are many people inLincoln County who knew Billy the kid and believedhe escaped to Texas.
Billy’s exact age is not known. It is thought he wasabout 21 when he was killed. Short, violent lives werecommon in the Wild West, but at least two of Billy’s gang livedinto their late 80s or early 90s. The last died in 1947, after the firstnuclear explosions in New Mexico ushered in the nuclear age.
