James Dolan Autograph Sold at Nate D. Sanders
The Lincoln County War was the feud between business partners James Dolan and Lawrence Murphy and rivals John Henry Tunstall and Alexander McSween. Murphy and Dolan were known for owning an established cattle ranch supply business in Lincoln County, New Mexico territory that sold overpriced items to cattle farmers. In 1876 Tunstall opened a business that sparked competition with Murphy and Dolan. Tempers flared and mischief ensued, leading the rivals to hire gunmen. The Lincoln County war, one of the most famous range wars of the American West, erupted in 1878 when Tunstall was murdered.

1887 Document Signed by Ringleaders in the Lincoln Country War — Including James Dolan, Justice of the Peace John Wilson, Sheriff Peppin & Regulator Yginio Salazar
Fantastic and rare legal document signed by dozens of key officials in Lincoln County, New Mexico, home of the 1878 Lincoln County War shootouts that catapulted Billy the Kid to fame. During the five short months of February-July 1878, the Lincoln County War would pit two factions of outlaws against each other for control of economic power in Lincoln County, and not end until federal forces intervened at the Battle of Lincoln. This 1887 document is signed by 24 Lincoln County notables who are petitioning the Board of County Commissioners to limit the width of a major road leading to the Court House. Document dated 15 July 1887 is signed by: James Dolan (leader of the Murphy/Dolan faction), Justice of the Peace John Wilson (who deputized the outlaw Regulators gang), George Peppin (the corrupt Sheriff who helped Murphy/Dolan’s thugs) and Yginio Salazar (one of Billy the Kid’s Regulators). Document is also signed by Sheriff Jason Brent, New Mexican Governor George Curry, Octaviano Salas (a Coroner’s Juror for Alex McSween’s murder), John Wheeler (who rode with Billy the Kid), cattleman George Barber, William Rosenthal (who sued John Chisum), George Sena (Pat Garrett’s Deputy Sheriff), Sheriff Saturnino Baca, Antonio Salazar (the local tax collector) and John Thornton (whose family defended Dolan and Chisum). Document runs two pages (front and verso) with all signatures appearing on the second page, and includes an integral leaf with docketing approving the petition. Measures 7.75″ x 9.75″. A spectacular document displaying the signatures of men who sought to break the untamed West. Sold for $2,237.
