Gunfight - The Newton Massacre Reconstructed

What this episode covers

Jack Maddox examines the 1871 Newton Massacre in Kansas, where five men died in a smoke-filled dance hall — more than the O.K. Corral. He traces how a political argument escalated into revenge killings, then a bloodbath triggered by an 18-year-old tuberculosis patient who vanished without a trace. Loved this episode?
