Ep 118: Outlaws And Gunslingers: Las Vegas, New Mexico

Summary: We are back with another edition of Outlaws and Gunslingers! In this one, we take a look at little known town Las Vegas. No not THAT Las Vegas, this is Las Vegas, New Mexico. Originally part of Mexico, the town was taken over by the US Army in 1846. From there the town continued to grow and after the railroad reached it, it rivaled cities like Denver in terms of size. Naturally when you get a lot of people coming to town, some of those are bound to be bad guys. Join us we go from the beginning of the town to it's outlaws and people trying to stop them all the way to what the town has become in present day. Some say this town was even more wild than the popular cities of the West you have heard of, listen and judge for yourself!
