Lincoln County War


 

The Lincoln County War was a conflict between two entrenched factions in 19th century America's western frontier. The "war" was between a faction led by wealthy ranchers and another faction led by the wealthy owners of the monopolistic general store in Lincoln County, New Mexico. A notable combatant on the side of the ranchers was William Bonney who is better known to history as Billy the Kid.
