This is the eighth episode of eleven that will discuss Billy the Kid and the Lincoln County War that took place in the 1870s in New Mexico.

In this episode, what’s left of the Regulators get in a shootout with the Apache as they attempt to steal horses which will result in the death of an Indian Agent, although, not at the hands of the Regulators. The Regulators eventually flee Lincoln for Fort Sumner and elsewhere. And they do so just in the nick of time as Lincoln County once again erupts into chaos from Selman’s Scouts.

Also in this episode, a new Governor arrives in New Mexico with the intent of quelling the unrest in the nation’s largest county. Billy buries the hatchet with the House mere moments before an egregious murder which forces Billy to flee yet again. Court comes back into session. Promises will be broken. Billy flees yet again. And Billy kills a drifter in self defense.

It’s a packed and frustrating episode. If things had gone as planned, Billy the Kid would have probably been writing his own dime novels or tell all books at a ripe old age.
