Blackwater Draw

Blackwater Draw Blackwater Draw is a feature documentary about one of the most famous Wild West cold cases in which

Based primarily on police investigation techniques and the consultation of historical criminal analysis, Blackwater Draw will present the accurate story of the murders of William S. “Buck” Morton, Frank Baker, and William McCloskey and seek to show how this event was critical to the chronology and heightened conflict of the Lincoln County War.To widen the scope of the murders, the film will set ou

t to examine the lives and paths of all three victims: William S. ”Buck” Morton, a Virginian fleeing from his past; Frank Baker, a mystery man who hid his real name and shady career; and William McCloskey, an elderly cowboy who unsuccessfully attempted to play the peacemaker. The myths and accounts of the three men and their murders are analytically separated. Connective events where the paths of the participants intersected, such as the death of John Tunstall, will likewise be examined.Legend and fact are separated in the case for both victims and their captors. Billy the Kid is justly portrayed as a human being wrought by conflicts. The Regulators and their opposition reveal character both good and bad. An investigative approach to this portion of the Billy the Kid saga corrects the record on some old assumptions and creates new avenues of insight and possibility into what really occurred that day.

You Stink! Major League Baseball's Terrible Teams and Pathetic Players
By Michael Aubrecht and Eric Wittenberg

There are countless volumes celebrating the best teams in professional baseball. Unfortunately, winning represents only one side of the game. For every champion’s record-setting season, there has been an equally memorable story of defeat. These teams and their shameful contributions to America’s national pastime have been a neglected topic in the annals of baseball history. Until now. In You Stink! two fanatical historians give credit where it is far overdue with a statistically backed, satirical look at the worst teams and individuals ever to set foot on a diamond. You Stink! includes franchise origins, detailed stats, player profiles, photos, and more, as well as a collection of long-format essays in a “Hall of Shame” that recognizes some of the worst moments ever witnessed on a ball field.

An intuitive quote from Ken Burns', The West. "People have come to the West from every point of the compass. To the Spanish, who traveled up from Mexico, it was the North. British and French explorers arrived by coming south; the Chinese and the Russians, by going east. It was the Americans -- the last to arrive -- who named it the West."
