In this episode of Beyond the Bushwhackers on Road Gang Radio, hosts Jimmy Mac and Lindsay Lawler are joined by Matthew Hulbert, Elliott Associate Professor of History at Hampden-Sydney College and Series Editor of American Wars and Popular Culture at LSU Press.

Together, they dig into the controversial life and legacy of Pat Garrett — the Old West lawman best known for killing the legendary outlaw Billy the Kid.

Was Pat Garrett a hero, a hired gun, or something in between? Matthew Hulbert brings a historian’s eye and a storyteller’s voice to unpack the facts, myths, and movies that have shaped this Wild West narrative for over a century.
