Step back into the Wild West and discover the true story of the 1875 gunfight at the Gaskill Brother’s Store in Campo, California — a deadly showdown that claimed six lives and has been called the "second deadliest civilian gunfight" after the OK Corral (I think you could argue this fight was deadlier). Located on the California-Mexico border, Campo was a lawless frontier town plagued by bandits and cross-border raids. On December 4, 1875, brothers Silas and Luman Gaskill faced off against Pancho Lopez and his gang in a brutal gun battle that lasted less than six minutes but ultimately claimed the lives of six men. Join me as we explore the site of the gunfight, uncover its dramatic history, and bring to light one of the Old West's most overlooked battles.

I really enjoy this young man's channel. He picks interesting subject matter, does his research but isn't afraid to ask questions of his viewers if he's unsure about something, and has a pleasant attitude.
