    Billy the Kid
    Sep 24 2022
    No other historical figure from the 'Old West' has stirred up more controversy and eluded historians and biographers more than William H. Bonney, alias Billy the Kid. This young man, in his short life, has established his place in history and legend. Who was Billy the Kid? How did he become a legend?
    "I don’t blame you for writing of me as you have. You had to believe other stories, but then I don’t know if any one would believe anything good of me anyway.”
    ~ Billy the Kid’s comment to a Las Vegas Gazette reporter (December, 1880)

    Part 3 of 3 - Olive Oatman
    Jul 27 2022
    Olive Oatman was an American woman celebrated in her time for her captivity and later release by Native Americans in the Mojave Desert region when she was a teenager. While traveling from Illinois to California, her family was attacked by a small group from a Native American tribe. They clubbed many to death, left her brother Lorenzo for dead, and enslaved Olive and her younger sister Mary Ann, holding them captive for one year before they traded them to the Mohave people, where they were well treated. While Lorenzo exhaustively attempted to recruit governmental help in searching for them, Mary Ann died from starvation and Olive spent four years with the Mohave. Five years after the attack, she was repatriated into American society. The story of the Oatman Massacre began to be retold with dramatic license in the press, as well as in her own memoir and speeches. Novels, plays, movies, and poetry were inspired, which resonated in the media of the time and long afterward. She had become an oddity in 1860s America, partly because of the prominent blue tattooing of her face by the Mohave, making her the first known white woman with Native tattoo on record. Much of what actually occurred during her time with the Native Americans remains unknown.

    Interview w/ Haunted Bisbee
    Mar 28 2022
    Justin and Matt sit down and interview Haunted Bisbee and get to hear all kinds of awesome stories!!!
    Joey and Zandra moved to Bisbee in 2020 spontaneously. They only knew that it only took one short visit to fall head over heels in love with the city! That love story continued and the more they loved the place, the more they wanted to share it.
    They learned everything they could, and realized they wanted to start a tour of their own, with Zandra’s leadership as the tour’s rocket fuel. The only and best way to do it was to contact the city’s most famous historian, Francine Powers, the original Haunted Bisbee Ghost Tour Guide. Thus, the Haunted Bisbee Historical Tours was resurrected.
