  • Summary

  • Join us as we uncover the wild rise of Tascosa, the frontier town that became the hub of lawlessness in the Texas Panhandle. In this first of two episodes, we focus on the town's early days, from violent sheep wars to its transformation into a trading hub. Along the way, we’ll meet figures like Charles Goodnight and Casimero Romero, and set the stage for the arrival of Billy the Kid. Stay tuned for part two, where the story takes an even darker turn with outlaws and lawmen battling for control.

    Featured music in this episode: "Say Goodbye" by Charlie Stout, from his 2016 album Dust & Wind (New American Frontier). Recorded live at the Taiban Church Historic Site, just a couple of miles from the site of Billy the Kid's capture.
