Ready for a thrilling journey back to the Wild West? This episode will transport you to Gray County in 1887, where an election for the county seat sparked a series of power plays fueled by millionaire Asa T Sewell's promises and political maneuvers. Asa tried everything to swing the vote in favor of Ingalls, from promising a railroad to freely dispersing checks to residents. Despite all his efforts, Cimarron emerged victorious. But that was just the beginning.

Fasten your seatbelts as we relive the daring raid on the Cimarron courthouse led by Bill Tilman and his posse, including myself. We braved the tension-filled streets and faced a nail-biting siege, all to reclaim the county seat records. And let's not forget our wild ride across the prairie, the heart-stopping battle of Cimarron, and the bloody aftermath. You'll also hear the brave tales of Tom, Jim, and Neil, who chose to stay back, their guns their only defense against the mob. So saddle up, folks! We're heading straight into the heart of the Wild West.
