The Lincoln County War

The Start of Lincoln County War

the Lincoln County War started with the murdered of my boss and friend and a man who was like a father to me John Tunstall. I saw Mr. Tunstall gunned down and I vowed that I would make his murderers pay for what they did to him. but I was not alone in that promise Chavez and my friends joined me in that promise because they loved Mr. Tunstall like a father the as me. the judge and Mr. Tunstall's lawyer and friend Alex McSween made us deputies and gave us 11 warrants to expose Murphy's and Dolan's crooked ring. but we knew that the law in Lincoln County New Mexico was in the pocket of the house. the is a very large group of really crooked ranchers and other people and at the head of this group was Lawrence Murphy and James Dolan. the posse that we he had made was called the Regulators well we served the warrants. and I should say that things got out of hand and we were thrown into a range war and we had to fight for our lives. well Chavez and the other regulators had loved ones worrying about them. I thought that didn't have anybody to love me and to worry about me. but to my surprise I did have people that loved me and worried about me. I just didn't know it at the time. and I am glad that I did. I always knew that Chavez was one of those people that I had to love and to worry about me.  Everyone even myself knew that the Lincoln county war was coming we knew not when or how soon but before we knew it we were caught up in the Lincoln county war I would become an outlaw. We had a lot of people helping us there was Alex and his wife Susan and Mr Tunstall's daughter Lori Tunstall but nobody knew how our lives would forever be changed Lori Tunstall still a very close friend to everyone even me. Yes I am an outlaw now and I am on the run. I still keep in touch with my friends and fellow regulators
