This episode on The Pine Grove Briar, we ride alongside Tom Tobin — one of the most hardened scouts and bounty hunters of the American frontier. From battling guerrillas to personally bringing in the severed heads of the Espinosa brothers, Tobin lived a life few could dream up and even fewer could survive.

We unpack Tobin’s blood-streaked legacy with equal parts history and humor — tracing his days as a mountain man, Indian fighter, and silent partner to some of the West’s most brutal showdowns.

We’ll wrap things up with your questions in the mailbag and tip our hats to those who keep this campfire burning.

Step into the smoky shadows of the Wild West as The Pine Grove Briar digs into the bloody, bizarre, and often exaggerated legend of Liver-Eatin' Johnson — mountain man, Civil War vet, and the alleged Crow-slaying, liver-chewing avenger of the Rockies. Was he a brutal frontier myth or a misunderstood loner with a pipe and a grudge?

We unpack the truth and tall tales in this gritty, humorous, and pipe-smoke-laced episode — complete with listener mail, and pipe musings. Saddle up, light your bowl, and join the campfire.

In today’s episode, we saddle up and ride into the dusty legend of Billy the Kid — the teenage outlaw who became an American icon. We explore the real history behind the myth, swap jokes about what kind of pipe smoker Billy might have been, and dive into listener mail asking the hard-hitting questions: What tobacco would Billy smoke? What pipe would survive a shootout? And just how common was pipe smoking in the Old West?

Sit back, light up your favorite blend, and enjoy some history, humor, and hypothetical hijinks — Pine Grove Briar style.
