Old West History

 

History of the Old West

From the dusty streets of El Paso, TX, to the infamous shootout at the O.K. Corral, we'll explore the lives of the West's deadliest gunfighters from the baby-faced assassin, John Wesley Hardin, to Wyatt Earp and his deadly dentist friend, Doc Holiday.

We'll follow western legend Billy the Kid through the turbulent times of the Lincoln County War with History Channel historian Drew Gomber.
