Tascosa, Texas, in those turbulent times of the 1880s, epitomized lawlessness and chaos. It was a place where legends were born, and outlaws roamed freely. The echoes of Billy the Kid's footsteps still reverberated through its dusty streets, mingling with the shadowy presence of Dave Rudabaugh, John Selman, Henry Newton Brown, Charlie Siringo, and countless other fabled figures who had left their indelible mark on the annals of the Old West. And by the time of the “Big Fight” aka the Gunfight at Jenkins Saloon, Tascosa was still as wild as ever. • The LS Ranch, located on the outskirts, harbored a band of ex-Rangers whose reputations preceded them. These LS boys were known for their heavy-handedness and soon were bestowed with the moniker of barroom gladiators. • Things finally came to a head on the fateful morning of March 21st, 1886. It was then that Ed King, a bona fide barroom gladiator, rendezvoused with his paramour and dance-hall gal, Sally Emory, just beyond the threshold of Jenkins Saloon. Unbeknownst to King, Sally’s ex-boyfriend was waiting. • Also mentioned in this episode: Tascosa’s Boot Hill, Hogtown, the music of Charley Crockett, and a saloon girl with a heart of gold by the name of Frenchy McCormick. #wildwest #history #cowboy • Check out the website for more true tales from the Old West https://www.wildwestextra.com/ • Email me! https://www.wildwestextra.com/contact/ • Buy me a coffee! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/wildwest • Free Newsletter! https://wildwestjosh.substack.com/ • Join Patreon for ad-free and bonus content! / wildwestextra • Merchandise! https://www.teepublic.com/user/wild-w... • Book Recommendations! https://www.amazon.com/shop/wildweste... • Charley Crockett | Paint it Blue - • Paint It Blue
