Shotgun John Collins — Lincoln County Connections, Rustling, and the Real Old West Tale

Shotgun John Collins (born Abraham G. Graham, 1851) lived the blurred life of the frontier — sometimes a Wells Fargo shotgun messenger and ranch guard, sometimes accused of rustling and outlaw work. He rode the same wild circuits as Lincoln County figures and other famous frontiersmen, married, owned land, and finally settled in the Southwest. This video untangles the facts from the folklore: guard, gunman, neighbor — a real Old West life that resists simple labels. 🤠🐎

📜 What you’ll learn: his origins (1851), frontier roles (guard & occasional outlaw), links to Lincoln County-era events, later family life, and his 1922 death and burial in El Paso — a portrait of a messy, fascinating frontier life. 🌵
