John Tunstall, his store, his grave, Lincoln New Mexico

John Henry Tunstall (6 March 1853 – 18 February 1878) was an English-born rancher and merchant in Lincoln County, New Mexico, United States. He competed with the Irish Catholic merchants, lawmen, and politicians who ran the town of Lincoln and the county.Tunstall, a member of the Republican Party, hoped to unseat the Irish and make a fortune as the county's new boss. He was the first man killed in the Lincoln County War, an economic and political conflict that resulted in armed warfare between rival gangs of cowboys and the ranchers, lawmen, and politicians who issued the orders. Somewhere along the way, he befriended Billy the Kid. Murphy and Dolan ran the town and surrounding county of Lincoln as though the area were their fiefdom. Any business transaction of consequence in the county passed through them. They controlled the courts. The Sheriff of Lincoln County, William J. Brady, was an Irish immigrant from County Cavan and was allied to the House. Tunstall was eager to make money in Lincoln County. Offering decent prices and reasonable dealings at his store, he attracted locals eager to find a competitor to Murphy and Dolan. In his letters to his family in London, Tunstall said that he intended to not only unseat Murphy and Dolan, but to become so powerful that half of every dollar made by anyone in Lincoln County would end up in his pocket. He also wrote about how he would soon raise the Tunstalls from the middle class to the highest levels of British polite society. When too many of the residents of Lincoln switched their business to Tunstall's store, Murphy-Dolan began a slide into bankruptcy, and Catron's bottom line was affected. Murphy and Dolan tried to put Tunstall out of business, first harassing him legally, then trying to goad him into a gunfight. They also hired gunmen, most of whom were members of the Jesse Evans Gang, also known as "The Boys." Tunstall recruited gunfighters of his own, half a dozen local ranchers and cowboys who disliked Brady, Murphy, and Dolan. These men worked Tunstall's ranch and did his bidding during his conflict with Murphy/Dolan. One of Tunstall's employees was the 18-year-old William Bonney (née Henry McCarty, aka William Henry Antrim, aka El Chivato), who was later dubbed "Billy the Kid" when leading a gang of his own. Deputies Jesse Evans, Henry Hill, Morton (and probably Frank Baker) rode ahead after Tunstall. Evans, Morton, and Hill caught up with Tunstall and his men in an area covered with scrub timber a few miles from Lincoln. Tunstall, the nine horses, and his hired guns were spread out along the narrow trail. Bonney, who was riding drag, alerted the others. The deputies began firing without warning. Tunstall's hands galloped off through the brush to a hilltop overlooking the trail. Tunstall first stayed with his horses, then rode away but was pursued by the three deputies. Only the three deputies survived the following confrontation. The historian Robert Utley writes that Tunstall may have surrendered or he may just as easily have drawn his sidearm and tried to defend himself from Deputies Morton, Hill, and Evans. Either way, the shooting began and Tunstall died instantly when hit by two rifle bullets, one in the chest and another that ripped through his brain. In the aftermath, Tunstall's supporters "claimed that he was murdered in cold blood". Supporters of the House, however, "insisted that he had been shot down while resisting arrest by a lawfully commissioned deputy sheriff of Lincoln County." Tunstall was 24 years old. Tunstall's murder ignited the Lincoln County War. sorry for the long history, it was copied from Wikipedia Help with the gas money at Paypal : https://www.paypal.me/soonerjhtravels * Cashapp: $soonerjhtravels * email me: soonerjhtravels@gmail.com Facebook https://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref... * Instagram https://www.instagram.com/soonerjh/?h... * Support me on Patreon for $1 a month! https://www.patreon.com/user?u=553394... * My Amazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls... * Equipment I use: Video & Pictures: Sony A7II (full frame, mirrorless) 28mm 2.0 lens, Rode Microphone Video: Sony a5000 Video: Iphone 14 promax Video: DJI Osmo Action 4 Audio: DJI Wireless Mic2 Gimbal: Dji Ronin-SC with Utebit quick connector Gimbal: Hohem Isteady Multi Gimbal: Hohem iSteady Pro4 Tripod: Manfrotto 3001BD with 486RC2 Head Photography: Canon 1Ds MKII or Canon 1Ds MKIII, assortment of Canon L lens, Alien Bees Lights & Triggers & Defusers Drone: Mavic Pro, old but reliable #soonerJHtravels #vanlife #boondocking #notsolofemale #notsolofemaletraveler #solotravels #solotraveler #solomaletraveler #soonerjh #vanlife #vanlifers #vanlifetravels #boondocking #solotravelwithdog #yuki #travelvideos #povdrivingvidoes #povdrive #drivevideos #drivingtheUSA #multilanguage #billythekid #johntunstall #lincolnnm #lincolncountywars
