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

Matthew brings his deep expertise in 19th-century America to uncover the origins of Boot Hill cemeteries and the colorful, often deadly, tales of guerrillas, gunfighters, and outlaws who shaped the mythology of the American frontier.

From the true stories behind legendary shootouts to how “Boot Hill” became an enduring symbol of the Wild West, this conversation explores how fact and folklore collide in America’s frontier memory.
