From a Billy the Kid Facebook site:
“Billy the Kid, Susan McSween, and White Oaks, New Mexico
In 1879 and 1880 Billy, Tom O’Folliard, and Charlie Bowdre and some others stole cattle from the big cattle outfits in the Texas Panhandle, south of the Canadian River, and held them in a caprock canyon near Los Portales, about 70 miles southeast of Fort Sumner. In May 1880 the three pals drove their stolen cattle to White Oaks, where they sold them to Tom Cooper, an agent for Pat Coghlan, who had a one year contract to sell beef to Fort Stanton, commencing on July 1, 1880. Coghlan became known as the “King of the Tularosa.”
In 1880 White Oaks, located in “a narrow, mountain-girt valley 45 miles by wagon road northwest of Lincoln,” was a booming newly minted mining town with 10 saloons, each with gaming tables, where Billy could indulge his passion for monte. Gold had been discovered only the year before and White Oaks came to life, almost overnight.
Susan McSween, after the Lincoln County War, became the “Cattle Queen of New Mexico. She lived many years in White Oaks, and is buried there. After this covid thing I hope to resume my lecture tours of White Oaks.”
