1
00:00:05,777 --> 00:00:09,171
Our nation is built upon
a history of battles,

2
00:00:09,220 --> 00:00:13,060
fought over honor, family and power.

3
00:00:13,180 --> 00:00:15,982
These bloody and iconic chapters,

4
00:00:16,036 --> 00:00:17,936
define what it truly means

5
00:00:17,949 --> 00:00:20,172
to be an American.

6
00:00:21,061 --> 00:00:23,702
These are Blood Feuds.

8
00:00:29,052 --> 00:00:33,221
On the dangerous frontier of
Arizona, a brutal range war

9
00:00:33,223 --> 00:00:40,061
breaks out that's said to be the
deadliest family feud in U.S. history,

10
00:00:40,063 --> 00:00:42,530
the Pleasant Valley war.

11
00:00:42,532 --> 00:00:45,900
Hutton: This was a
vendetta between families.

12
00:00:45,902 --> 00:00:48,370
It really was a blood feud.

13
00:00:48,372 --> 00:00:50,238
Narrator: It's a battle to the death

14
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,958
as two ranching clans clash
for control over the land

15
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,878
and their right to manifest destiny.

16
00:01:00,717 --> 00:01:03,501
The Tewksbury brothers are frontiersmen

17
00:01:03,503 --> 00:01:07,088
who will stop at nothing
to defend their territory.

18
00:01:07,090 --> 00:01:11,426
Ed would stand his ground,
and he would not back down.

19
00:01:11,428 --> 00:01:13,595
Narrator: The Graham brothers are grifters,

20
00:01:13,597 --> 00:01:17,182
prepared to kill any man
who stands in their way.

21
00:01:17,184 --> 00:01:19,768
Hutton: The Graham boys,
they're armed to the teeth

22
00:01:19,770 --> 00:01:22,437
and are determined to get revenge.

23
00:01:22,439 --> 00:01:24,406
Who did this to you?

24
00:01:24,408 --> 00:01:26,107
Who shot you, Billy?

25
00:01:26,109 --> 00:01:29,778
Narrator: Acts of betrayal,
unspeakable violence...

26
00:01:29,780 --> 00:01:31,529
Those murdering dogs!

27
00:01:31,531 --> 00:01:32,781
... and ignite a feud

28
00:01:32,783 --> 00:01:36,334
so vicious the pages of
American Frontier history

29
00:01:36,336 --> 00:01:38,286
will be bathed in blood.

30
00:01:38,288 --> 00:01:42,173
There's no story in all of
Western history as violent.

31
00:01:42,175 --> 00:01:44,375
- There were beheadings.
- Lynchings.

32
00:01:44,377 --> 00:01:48,179
This indiscriminate slaughter
just seemed medieval.

33
00:01:48,181 --> 00:01:50,215
There's no turning back now.

34
00:01:50,217 --> 00:01:51,966
Meet you in hell, Ed.

35
00:01:55,021 --> 00:01:56,805
[Woman screams]

36
00:02:02,646 --> 00:02:04,362
I'm Ed Tewksbury.

37
00:02:04,364 --> 00:02:07,732
My family and I pioneered Pleasant Valley.

38
00:02:07,734 --> 00:02:10,485
I live by an honorable code.

39
00:02:10,487 --> 00:02:14,072
Tom Graham, he has no code.

40
00:02:14,074 --> 00:02:15,290
I'm gonna get you.

41
00:02:15,292 --> 00:02:16,124
You should be looking over your shoulder

42
00:02:16,126 --> 00:02:18,493
the rest of your life.

43
00:02:18,495 --> 00:02:20,245
I'm Tom Graham.

44
00:02:20,247 --> 00:02:22,297
My brother and I, we settled in the valley.

45
00:02:22,299 --> 00:02:24,415
It was Ed Tewksbury who brought us here.

46
00:02:24,417 --> 00:02:26,668
And let me tell you this...

47
00:02:26,670 --> 00:02:29,003
He is not a man of honor.

48
00:02:31,141 --> 00:02:35,560
If you don't want to die
right now, go home, Tom.

49
00:02:35,562 --> 00:02:38,730
It's a blood feud.

50
00:02:38,732 --> 00:02:40,482
It's about vengeance.

51
00:02:48,158 --> 00:02:51,409
Narrator: The feud between
Ed Tewksbury and Tom Graham

52
00:02:51,411 --> 00:02:53,661
takes root in the late 1870s

53
00:02:53,663 --> 00:02:56,581
on the unforgiving Arizona frontier.

54
00:02:58,335 --> 00:03:03,171
The Homestead Act lures men to
the vast, unclaimed territory.

55
00:03:03,173 --> 00:03:06,207
But only the hardiest of
souls can make it here.

56
00:03:08,128 --> 00:03:11,012
Arizona is such a
violent place at the time.

57
00:03:11,014 --> 00:03:13,715
The Apache Wars are in full swing,

58
00:03:13,717 --> 00:03:15,433
and they are repeated outbreaks.

59
00:03:15,435 --> 00:03:18,052
Any settler that settled that area

60
00:03:18,054 --> 00:03:20,138
was taking their life in their own hands.

61
00:03:20,140 --> 00:03:23,274
They were essentially
settling a killing field.

62
00:03:25,395 --> 00:03:28,396
Narrator: But in the midst
of this toxic brew of desert

63
00:03:28,398 --> 00:03:31,115
and danger is a seeming oasis,

64
00:03:31,117 --> 00:03:34,369
a place that comes to be
known as Pleasant Valley.

65
00:03:36,456 --> 00:03:39,908
Pleasant Valley is in
north central Arizona.

66
00:03:39,910 --> 00:03:41,793
It's right below the Mogollon Rim.

67
00:03:41,795 --> 00:03:44,078
Trimble: They call it the rim of Arizona.

68
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:45,630
It was a dividing line,

69
00:03:45,632 --> 00:03:49,217
and it dropped off 1,000 feet

70
00:03:49,219 --> 00:03:52,303
down to this nice, little valley.

71
00:03:55,759 --> 00:03:57,675
There's trees to build cabins.

72
00:03:57,677 --> 00:03:59,978
There's grass to support livestock.

73
00:03:59,980 --> 00:04:03,848
This is a place where you
could run cattle on free grass

74
00:04:03,850 --> 00:04:05,767
and make a good living.

75
00:04:05,769 --> 00:04:07,902
So here's a cattleman's dream.

76
00:04:10,273 --> 00:04:12,941
Narrator: And one pioneer
willing to risk it all

77
00:04:12,943 --> 00:04:16,945
is a fiercely private
man named Ed Tewksbury.

78
00:04:16,947 --> 00:04:20,949
Edward Tewksbury was a
very strong character.

79
00:04:20,951 --> 00:04:23,084
Spangenberger: You didn't want
to get on the wrong side of 'im.

80
00:04:23,086 --> 00:04:25,003
He had quite a temper.

81
00:04:25,005 --> 00:04:26,955
He felt, if he was right,

82
00:04:26,957 --> 00:04:31,459
he was right, and by God,
nothing's gonna change that.

83
00:04:31,461 --> 00:04:33,511
Narrator: Originally from California,

84
00:04:33,513 --> 00:04:36,764
Ed's life has been
defined by his mixed race.

85
00:04:36,766 --> 00:04:40,802
His father... European,
his mother... a Hupa Indian.

86
00:04:40,804 --> 00:04:42,604
Hutton: At the time, in the west,

87
00:04:42,606 --> 00:04:43,855
they had a word for that.

88
00:04:43,857 --> 00:04:45,607
And it was not a positive word.

89
00:04:45,609 --> 00:04:48,142
A half-breed, as they called it then.

90
00:04:48,144 --> 00:04:49,978
Narrator: Following his mother's death,

91
00:04:49,980 --> 00:04:54,732
Ed moves to Arizona in
1877 along with his father,

92
00:04:54,734 --> 00:04:58,569
three brothers and a
huge chip on his shoulder.

93
00:04:58,571 --> 00:05:00,872
Gimme that barbed wire over here.

94
00:05:00,874 --> 00:05:03,658
They had endured some
racial stuff in California,

95
00:05:03,660 --> 00:05:04,792
you know, "half-breeds."

96
00:05:04,794 --> 00:05:06,044
And you come out here,

97
00:05:06,046 --> 00:05:08,379
and you just say, "I'm not
gonna take that anymore."

98
00:05:08,381 --> 00:05:10,164
Hutton: They were tired of being harassed.

99
00:05:10,166 --> 00:05:12,750
Pleasant Valley was one of the last places

100
00:05:12,752 --> 00:05:15,303
where people on the run
from another kind of life

101
00:05:15,305 --> 00:05:19,974
who were bold enough could
take hold and actually make it.

102
00:05:19,976 --> 00:05:22,727
Narrator: For Ed, it's his
best shot to build a life

103
00:05:22,729 --> 00:05:24,178
free from prejudice,

104
00:05:24,180 --> 00:05:27,982
a life where his family relies
on no one but each other.

105
00:05:27,984 --> 00:05:29,817
Pleasant Valley offered an opportunity,

106
00:05:29,819 --> 00:05:32,820
dangerous as it was, for
them to be left alone.

107
00:05:35,358 --> 00:05:36,607
Narrator: Ed and his brothers

108
00:05:36,609 --> 00:05:39,360
build a simple home for
the family and a ranch

109
00:05:39,362 --> 00:05:41,362
for their small herd of cattle.

110
00:05:41,364 --> 00:05:42,664
Trimble: It was hardscrabble.

111
00:05:42,666 --> 00:05:44,949
They just had enough cows to
maybe support their families,

112
00:05:44,951 --> 00:05:46,200
and that was about it.

113
00:05:46,202 --> 00:05:47,585
Narrator: It's a humble beginning.

114
00:05:47,587 --> 00:05:50,872
But Ed has faith that, with
hard work, the Tewksburys

115
00:05:50,874 --> 00:05:54,709
can live undisturbed in Pleasant Valley.

116
00:05:54,711 --> 00:05:58,012
But their days of solitude won't last long.

117
00:06:00,266 --> 00:06:03,551
Soon after the Tewksburys
settle into Pleasant Valley,

118
00:06:03,553 --> 00:06:05,386
another industrious young man

119
00:06:05,388 --> 00:06:08,389
comes to Arizona looking for opportunity.

120
00:06:08,391 --> 00:06:12,026
His name is Tom Graham.

121
00:06:12,028 --> 00:06:14,062
Tom Graham was a very ambitious man.

122
00:06:14,064 --> 00:06:15,730
Obregón Pagán: Tom was young.

123
00:06:15,732 --> 00:06:19,233
He still had a little bit of
baby fat and innocence about him.

124
00:06:19,235 --> 00:06:22,036
But he had a real look of
determination in his eye.

125
00:06:22,038 --> 00:06:23,905
Herring: He came to Arizona

126
00:06:23,907 --> 00:06:26,457
after a long period of restless wandering,

127
00:06:26,459 --> 00:06:28,743
sometimes on both sides of the law.

128
00:06:31,247 --> 00:06:34,665
Narrator: Wild, wily and
always looking for an angle,

129
00:06:34,667 --> 00:06:37,085
Tom is looking to get
into the cattle business

130
00:06:37,087 --> 00:06:39,337
with his like-minded brothers.

131
00:06:39,339 --> 00:06:41,672
They were in the great American tradition

132
00:06:41,674 --> 00:06:43,674
of looking for the next big thing.

133
00:06:43,676 --> 00:06:45,893
Narrator: And it's cattle
that's on Tom's mind

134
00:06:45,895 --> 00:06:47,895
the day he saddles up to a bar

135
00:06:47,897 --> 00:06:50,681
in a remote town outside of Pleasant Valley

136
00:06:50,683 --> 00:06:53,735
and meets Ed Tewksbury.

137
00:06:53,737 --> 00:06:56,521
It's a meeting that
would change their lives

138
00:06:56,523 --> 00:06:58,573
and the course of history.

139
00:07:00,660 --> 00:07:04,162
Tom: Me and my brother just
moved out east from California.

140
00:07:04,164 --> 00:07:07,832
Come into town every now and
then to play a little poker.

141
00:07:07,834 --> 00:07:09,117
Oh, yeah?

142
00:07:09,119 --> 00:07:11,419
Ed Tewksbury isn't much of a talker.

143
00:07:11,421 --> 00:07:15,957
But something about the young
man appeals to the cattleman.

144
00:07:15,959 --> 00:07:17,458
They struck up a conversation,

145
00:07:17,460 --> 00:07:19,627
and it turned out that they
actually had a lot in common.

146
00:07:19,629 --> 00:07:21,629
They were both of pioneer stock.

147
00:07:21,631 --> 00:07:23,881
Obregón Pagán: They both lost
their mother at a young age.

148
00:07:23,883 --> 00:07:25,850
They both lived in California for a while.

149
00:07:25,852 --> 00:07:29,804
And they're both fledgling ranchmen.

150
00:07:29,806 --> 00:07:32,473
You ever get lucky?

151
00:07:32,475 --> 00:07:34,976
A matter of fact, we won 60
head of cattle out in Phoenix

152
00:07:34,978 --> 00:07:36,561
last week from a couple
of fellows who were there

153
00:07:36,563 --> 00:07:37,979
to sell their herd.

154
00:07:37,981 --> 00:07:40,398
That right?

155
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:44,202
We're looking to set
up and graze that herd,

156
00:07:44,204 --> 00:07:46,070
maybe get into ranching.

157
00:07:46,072 --> 00:07:47,488
Obregón Pagán: And so Ed said, "you know,

158
00:07:47,490 --> 00:07:50,074
you ought to think about
this place we're living.

159
00:07:50,076 --> 00:07:51,409
You know, come on up, take a look

160
00:07:51,411 --> 00:07:53,795
and see if you can make
a life for yourself."

161
00:07:53,797 --> 00:07:55,830
Ed Tewksbury.

162
00:07:55,832 --> 00:07:57,048
Tom Graham.

163
00:07:57,050 --> 00:07:59,383
Tewksbury tells Graham
about Pleasant Valley,

164
00:07:59,385 --> 00:08:03,171
tells him about the opportunity there.

165
00:08:03,173 --> 00:08:05,890
Narrator: Tom arrives with
his older brother, John,

166
00:08:05,892 --> 00:08:09,393
a man with a wild streak
and a nose for trouble.

167
00:08:09,395 --> 00:08:11,262
John was a little bit more fiery.

168
00:08:11,264 --> 00:08:14,816
And I get the feeling that John
sort of led Tom around a lot.

169
00:08:14,818 --> 00:08:17,351
Herring: But they were a strong
brotherhood, the two of them.

170
00:08:17,353 --> 00:08:19,520
Narrator: John sees the area's potential

171
00:08:19,522 --> 00:08:21,189
and agrees with his brother

172
00:08:21,191 --> 00:08:23,357
that this is where they should ranch.

173
00:08:23,359 --> 00:08:25,910
John Graham was a very ambitious man.

174
00:08:25,912 --> 00:08:28,830
When he had an opportunity, he took it.

175
00:08:30,950 --> 00:08:33,367
Narrator: Soon, the
grahams set up a homestead

176
00:08:33,369 --> 00:08:35,703
within sight of the Tewksburys' ranch,

177
00:08:35,705 --> 00:08:38,539
and the two families become fast friends.

178
00:08:38,541 --> 00:08:40,625
Graham and Tewksbury are kindred souls.

179
00:08:43,263 --> 00:08:45,179
Narrator: Ranching is going well.

180
00:08:45,181 --> 00:08:47,465
The Grahams have a herd of 60 cattle,

181
00:08:47,467 --> 00:08:50,101
while the Tewksburys own around 40.

182
00:08:50,103 --> 00:08:52,270
Their families are growing.

183
00:08:52,272 --> 00:08:53,554
Thank you, darling.

184
00:08:53,556 --> 00:08:56,224
Ed Tewksbury's brother John is now married,

185
00:08:56,226 --> 00:08:58,860
and the neighbors have
high hopes for the future.

186
00:08:58,862 --> 00:09:01,195
- Long-lasting...
- Fruitful and long, huh?

187
00:09:01,197 --> 00:09:04,282
Woman: Cheers.

188
00:09:04,284 --> 00:09:07,068
Narrator: But a new, powerful
player in Pleasant Valley

189
00:09:07,070 --> 00:09:09,487
is threatening to disrupt the peace,

190
00:09:09,489 --> 00:09:12,206
a cattleman who will
turn these fast friends

191
00:09:12,208 --> 00:09:14,408
into bitter enemies.

192
00:09:16,913 --> 00:09:18,296
The trouble really began

193
00:09:18,298 --> 00:09:21,082
when Stinson brought a herd of cattle over.

194
00:09:21,084 --> 00:09:24,051
Obregón Pagán: James Stinson
is a very large cattle owner,

195
00:09:24,053 --> 00:09:26,971
and he moves part of his herd
down into Pleasant Valley.

196
00:09:26,973 --> 00:09:30,925
Narrator: Stinson is a wealthy
judge who resides in Phoenix.

197
00:09:30,927 --> 00:09:33,928
Trimble: Stinson wanted
to have a cattle empire.

198
00:09:33,930 --> 00:09:36,063
He went in and tried to buy people out.

199
00:09:36,065 --> 00:09:38,399
And he really offended both the Grahams

200
00:09:38,401 --> 00:09:42,937
and the Tewksburys, uh,
with his high-handed ways.

201
00:09:42,939 --> 00:09:46,824
Narrator: After moving some 1,200
head of cattle into Pleasant Valley,

202
00:09:46,826 --> 00:09:50,027
Stinson's herd far outnumbers
those of the brothers,

203
00:09:50,029 --> 00:09:53,164
who have less than 100 head combined.

204
00:09:53,166 --> 00:09:57,251
Suddenly, the vast valley
looks a lot smaller.

205
00:09:57,253 --> 00:10:00,037
Grass is free, but it's not really free.

206
00:10:00,039 --> 00:10:01,622
People control grass.

207
00:10:01,624 --> 00:10:06,794
And Stinson had a sense of,
"I own all of this range."

208
00:10:06,796 --> 00:10:09,513
Narrator: Concern quickly
brews amongst the Tewksbury

209
00:10:09,515 --> 00:10:11,432
and the Graham brothers.

210
00:10:11,434 --> 00:10:13,184
So I hear Stinson was in town,

211
00:10:13,186 --> 00:10:15,636
meeting with his foreman,
checking on his cattle.

212
00:10:15,638 --> 00:10:18,522
Stinson is an incredible threat.

213
00:10:18,524 --> 00:10:20,775
Narrator: So the two
families hatch a scheme

214
00:10:20,777 --> 00:10:23,477
to increase the size of their herds

215
00:10:23,479 --> 00:10:27,648
and teach this interloper a lesson.

216
00:10:27,650 --> 00:10:31,035
Heard his cattle is gonna be calving soon.

217
00:10:31,037 --> 00:10:32,203
We ready?

218
00:10:32,205 --> 00:10:33,704
Just about.

219
00:10:33,706 --> 00:10:37,491
They plan to round up Stinson's
calves that stray from his herds

220
00:10:37,493 --> 00:10:39,994
and claim them as their own.

221
00:10:39,996 --> 00:10:43,297
It's a form of cattle
rustling known as mavericking.

222
00:10:43,299 --> 00:10:46,384
Mavericking is the art of
taking those unbranded calves

223
00:10:46,386 --> 00:10:47,835
and putting your brand on 'em.

224
00:10:47,837 --> 00:10:50,838
This is when Tom Graham and Ed Tewksbury,

225
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,841
uh, got a joint partnership in a herd.

226
00:10:53,843 --> 00:10:55,393
Here's what I've been working on.

227
00:10:57,563 --> 00:11:00,314
What do you think?

228
00:11:00,316 --> 00:11:01,899
I think it's not half bad.

229
00:11:01,901 --> 00:11:03,734
Brown: Tom Graham and Edward Tewksbury,

230
00:11:03,736 --> 00:11:07,772
their brand was the "T"
over "E," Tom and Ed.

231
00:11:09,359 --> 00:11:11,158
Narrator: The new T-E brand,

232
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,411
once burned into the Stinson calves,

233
00:11:13,413 --> 00:11:16,530
will make them property of
the Tewksburys and the Grahams

234
00:11:16,532 --> 00:11:18,032
in the eyes of the law.

235
00:11:18,034 --> 00:11:21,619
And so they actually were
cattle rustlers together.

236
00:11:23,539 --> 00:11:25,206
Narrator: But the
Tewksburys and the Grahams

237
00:11:25,208 --> 00:11:27,258
underestimate Stinson.

238
00:11:27,260 --> 00:11:31,045
He's not the type of man who
takes kindly to losing cattle.

239
00:11:31,047 --> 00:11:33,547
Obregón Pagán: His
cattle start disappearing.

240
00:11:33,549 --> 00:11:35,383
And Stinson knows something is up.

241
00:11:35,385 --> 00:11:38,519
And he believes that some of
the locals in Pleasant Valley

242
00:11:38,521 --> 00:11:40,471
are taking his cattle.

243
00:11:42,725 --> 00:11:45,559
Narrator: Stinson's
ranch foreman investigates

244
00:11:45,561 --> 00:11:48,062
and soon puts two and two together.

245
00:11:48,064 --> 00:11:52,316
While his calves go missing,
the T-E herd is thriving.

246
00:11:52,318 --> 00:11:55,703
He eagerly reports to
his boss what this means.

247
00:11:55,705 --> 00:11:57,905
The Tewksburys and Grahams

248
00:11:57,907 --> 00:12:02,076
preyed on the Stinson herds
in order to build their own.

249
00:12:02,078 --> 00:12:04,412
Narrator: Although Stinson
recognizes the Grahams

250
00:12:04,414 --> 00:12:06,831
are equal partners in the mavericking,

251
00:12:06,833 --> 00:12:10,251
he reportedly singles out
the half-Indian Tewksburys

252
00:12:10,253 --> 00:12:11,802
as the culprits.

253
00:12:11,804 --> 00:12:17,925
In the sight of many Arizonans,
they're tainted by Indian blood.

254
00:12:17,927 --> 00:12:19,760
Narrator: Stinson sends the foreman

255
00:12:19,762 --> 00:12:22,847
and his men to teach
the Tewksburys a lesson.

256
00:12:22,849 --> 00:12:24,398
Herring: The Stinson foreman

257
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,601
was determined to stop the Tewksburys.

258
00:12:27,603 --> 00:12:29,937
And he rode up to the Arizonans ranch

259
00:12:29,939 --> 00:12:31,906
with some men.

260
00:12:31,908 --> 00:12:34,692
Narrator: The plan is
to use this show of force

261
00:12:34,694 --> 00:12:37,445
to threaten Ed and John
and stop the rustling.

262
00:12:37,447 --> 00:12:40,614
Suddenly, these men come
riding in unannounced,

263
00:12:40,616 --> 00:12:41,782
and they're armed.

264
00:12:41,784 --> 00:12:43,617
Narrator: When Stinson's men arrive,

265
00:12:43,619 --> 00:12:46,287
they discover the Tewksburys aren't alone.

266
00:12:46,289 --> 00:12:48,122
The Grahams are with them.

267
00:12:48,124 --> 00:12:51,625
Now, right away, the Tewksburys
and the Grahams are defensive.

268
00:12:51,627 --> 00:12:54,295
And it went to violence very, very quickly.

269
00:12:58,184 --> 00:13:00,351
Narrator: This is just the first chapter

270
00:13:00,353 --> 00:13:03,854
in what comes to be known
as the Pleasant Valley war,

271
00:13:03,856 --> 00:13:06,390
one of the bloodiest feuds in U.S. history.

272
00:13:06,392 --> 00:13:07,725
[Screams]

273
00:13:10,740 --> 00:13:14,008
Narrator: In 1883, in
the Arizona territory,

274
00:13:14,010 --> 00:13:16,528
the first shots of the Pleasant Valley war

275
00:13:16,530 --> 00:13:18,246
are about to ring out,

276
00:13:18,248 --> 00:13:20,498
triggering one of the deadliest feuds

277
00:13:20,500 --> 00:13:24,118
in American Frontier history.

278
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,287
The Tewksbury and the Graham brothers

279
00:13:26,289 --> 00:13:29,457
have been stealing calves
from the largest cattle tycoon

280
00:13:29,459 --> 00:13:31,759
in the area, Judge Stinson.

281
00:13:31,761 --> 00:13:34,679
Stinson has dispatched a posse of armed men

282
00:13:34,681 --> 00:13:36,848
to teach them a lesson.

283
00:13:36,850 --> 00:13:39,434
It went to violence very, very quickly.

284
00:13:39,436 --> 00:13:40,802
Trimble: As the story goes,

285
00:13:40,804 --> 00:13:42,971
the Tewksburys asking, "what do you want?"

286
00:13:42,973 --> 00:13:44,105
And he said something

287
00:13:44,107 --> 00:13:46,641
to the effect of, "you, you S.O.B."

288
00:13:46,643 --> 00:13:49,477
Somebody called somebody
a black son of a bitch.

289
00:13:49,479 --> 00:13:51,145
Hands go for guns.

290
00:13:51,147 --> 00:13:54,482
And the foreman pulled his pistol

291
00:13:54,484 --> 00:13:58,319
and fired a shot and missed.

292
00:13:58,321 --> 00:14:01,623
And Ed returns fire. Boom, boom, boom.

293
00:14:06,296 --> 00:14:09,297
Graham is instrumental in
jumping in and helping Ed.

294
00:14:09,299 --> 00:14:11,299
Stinson's men, they're
trying to draw their weapons,

295
00:14:11,301 --> 00:14:13,001
but their horses are jumping around.

296
00:14:13,003 --> 00:14:15,670
They get off a few shots,
but the shots go wild.

297
00:14:15,672 --> 00:14:18,256
Narrator: Stinson's men are outmatched.

298
00:14:18,258 --> 00:14:19,591
Obregón Pagán: Then, they go charging off.

299
00:14:19,593 --> 00:14:21,009
They run from the situation.

300
00:14:21,011 --> 00:14:24,228
It's all over very, very quickly.

301
00:14:24,230 --> 00:14:27,181
Hutton: So the first shots
in the Pleasant Valley war

302
00:14:27,183 --> 00:14:31,519
actually have the Grahams
and Tewksburys as allies.

303
00:14:31,521 --> 00:14:34,522
Narrator: But the Arizonans
and Grahams' days as comrades

304
00:14:34,524 --> 00:14:39,994
are numbered because Jim
Stinson isn't about to back down.

305
00:14:39,996 --> 00:14:42,780
So he comes up with a new plan.

306
00:14:42,782 --> 00:14:44,582
Trimble: Stinson is very devious.

307
00:14:44,584 --> 00:14:47,619
He wanted to divide the two
families, get 'em fighting.

308
00:14:47,621 --> 00:14:49,871
Narrator: This time, he won't use guns.

309
00:14:49,873 --> 00:14:51,539
He'll use the law.

310
00:14:51,541 --> 00:14:53,174
He looks around. He tries to figure out,

311
00:14:53,176 --> 00:14:54,709
"I need somebody on my side who's willing

312
00:14:54,711 --> 00:14:58,379
to then turn evidence
against the Tewksbury brothers

313
00:14:58,381 --> 00:15:00,048
for stealing cattle."

314
00:15:00,050 --> 00:15:02,517
Hutton: Stinson realizes that the Grahams

315
00:15:02,519 --> 00:15:04,302
are gonna be more useful to him

316
00:15:04,304 --> 00:15:07,221
as accomplices rather than enemies.

317
00:15:07,223 --> 00:15:09,724
He wants them to finger the Tewksburys

318
00:15:09,726 --> 00:15:11,225
as the cattle rustlers.

319
00:15:11,227 --> 00:15:14,529
Narrator: Stinson wants
to spark a blood feud.

320
00:15:16,533 --> 00:15:18,950
So he calls a meeting with the one person

321
00:15:18,952 --> 00:15:22,370
he deems the weakest link, John Graham.

322
00:15:25,959 --> 00:15:28,910
Thank you for seeing me, Mr. Graham.

323
00:15:28,912 --> 00:15:32,630
I think that John Graham
was easily influenced.

324
00:15:32,632 --> 00:15:33,915
Sure thing.

325
00:15:33,917 --> 00:15:35,249
What can I do for you, sir?

326
00:15:35,251 --> 00:15:40,555
You know I run a large herd
of cattle down here, Graham.

327
00:15:40,557 --> 00:15:44,175
And I'm losing a lot of 'em to rustlers.

328
00:15:47,847 --> 00:15:52,016
Now, why don't you tell me
what that has to do with me?

329
00:15:52,018 --> 00:15:53,484
I think you and your brother

330
00:15:53,486 --> 00:15:56,771
are a little too closely
associated with those rustlers.

331
00:15:56,773 --> 00:15:58,823
You don't want to end up in jail.

332
00:16:01,111 --> 00:16:05,997
Besides, I can provide you
with adequate compensation.

333
00:16:05,999 --> 00:16:08,750
He offers John a very
lucrative contract that,

334
00:16:08,752 --> 00:16:11,919
if he will identify
whoever's rustling cattle,

335
00:16:11,921 --> 00:16:14,922
John stands to profit handsomely from this.

336
00:16:16,593 --> 00:16:18,459
Keep talking, Mr. Stinson.

337
00:16:18,461 --> 00:16:19,961
Narrator: It's a simple deal.

338
00:16:19,963 --> 00:16:21,929
John Graham goes to the law

339
00:16:21,931 --> 00:16:24,766
and charges the Tewksburys with stealing.

340
00:16:24,768 --> 00:16:28,720
For any man convicted,
Stinson gives John a bounty.

341
00:16:28,722 --> 00:16:34,275
25 full-grown cows and
25 calves for every charge

342
00:16:34,277 --> 00:16:36,027
you make that ends up in a conviction

343
00:16:36,029 --> 00:16:39,197
for a cattle rustler.

344
00:16:39,199 --> 00:16:42,533
Well, that sounds like
it might work for us.

345
00:16:42,535 --> 00:16:45,286
Now John faces the difficult task

346
00:16:45,288 --> 00:16:47,739
of getting his younger brother Tom on board

347
00:16:47,741 --> 00:16:49,240
to seal the deal.

00:17:01,721 --> 00:17:04,255
I don't like it.

350
00:17:04,257 --> 00:17:07,175
It ain't right.

351
00:17:07,177 --> 00:17:09,477
We have to get that out of your head.

352
00:17:09,479 --> 00:17:11,846
This is an opportunity for us.

353
00:17:11,848 --> 00:17:15,149
Tewksburys have been good to us.

354
00:17:15,151 --> 00:17:17,351
They helped us get set up here.

355
00:17:17,353 --> 00:17:19,687
We rustled those mavericks together.

356
00:17:19,689 --> 00:17:21,022
And now you want to tell Stinson

357
00:17:21,024 --> 00:17:22,190
that it was the Tewksburys

358
00:17:22,192 --> 00:17:24,108
that's been stealing
from them the whole time?

359
00:17:24,110 --> 00:17:28,246
Whatever the Tewksbury
does, they're not family.

360
00:17:29,282 --> 00:17:31,365
You and me got to stick together.

361
00:17:34,037 --> 00:17:35,953
Well, we have a chance to be real cattlemen

362
00:17:35,955 --> 00:17:38,790
with Stinson's reward.

363
00:17:38,792 --> 00:17:41,425
The Tewksburys will go
to jail instead of us.

364
00:17:44,047 --> 00:17:46,464
Tom, perhaps idolizing his older brother,

365
00:17:46,466 --> 00:17:48,933
eventually goes along with it.

366
00:17:48,935 --> 00:17:50,768
This is a dark side of the Grahams

367
00:17:50,770 --> 00:17:54,305
because this was a violation
of what was the code

368
00:17:54,307 --> 00:17:57,892
of the west, your honor
and loyalty to friends.

369
00:17:57,894 --> 00:18:00,778
Narrator: The Grahams know
that partnering with Stinson

370
00:18:00,780 --> 00:18:03,397
will declare war on the Tewksburys

371
00:18:03,399 --> 00:18:06,033
but will keep their family out of jail

372
00:18:06,035 --> 00:18:09,570
and gain them a piece of
Stinson's cattle empire.

373
00:18:09,572 --> 00:18:11,239
Blood is thicker than water.

374
00:18:11,241 --> 00:18:14,959
And Tom falls right in line
with his brother to the very end.

375
00:18:18,248 --> 00:18:19,997
All right.

376
00:18:22,418 --> 00:18:25,253
I'm in.

377
00:18:25,255 --> 00:18:28,089
Narrator: On November 14, 1883,

378
00:18:28,091 --> 00:18:31,676
a meeting is held to sign
a contract with Stinson.

379
00:18:31,678 --> 00:18:34,262
They took the deal out of self-interest.

380
00:18:34,264 --> 00:18:36,597
And it forever shattered their friendship

381
00:18:36,599 --> 00:18:39,233
with the Tewksburys.

382
00:18:39,235 --> 00:18:41,102
Narrator: This fateful document

383
00:18:41,104 --> 00:18:45,606
later becomes known as the treaty of war.

384
00:18:45,608 --> 00:18:47,658
Trimble: It was a double-cross.

385
00:18:47,660 --> 00:18:49,944
And what a price it cost 'em.

386
00:18:49,946 --> 00:18:51,112
Narrator: Within days,

387
00:18:51,114 --> 00:18:54,081
the law comes after Ed and John Tewksbury.

388
00:18:54,083 --> 00:18:57,118
Man: Tewksburys, come on out of here.

389
00:18:57,120 --> 00:18:59,954
The brothers are blindsided.

390
00:18:59,956 --> 00:19:03,007
When they discover it was the
Grahams who turned them in,

391
00:19:03,009 --> 00:19:05,793
they feel completely betrayed.

392
00:19:05,795 --> 00:19:07,879
They were the ones who invited the Grahams

393
00:19:07,881 --> 00:19:09,180
up to Pleasant Valley.

394
00:19:09,182 --> 00:19:12,383
And suddenly, their
friends had turned on them.

395
00:19:12,385 --> 00:19:15,102
This really hit them very, very hard.

396
00:19:15,104 --> 00:19:18,723
Narrator: The Tewksburys
face four indictments

397
00:19:18,725 --> 00:19:20,641
on stealing Stinson's cattle.

398
00:19:20,643 --> 00:19:22,026
They have to stand trial.

399
00:19:22,028 --> 00:19:24,612
Narrator: With the
Grahams' damning testimony,

400
00:19:24,614 --> 00:19:26,814
they fear conviction is inevitable.

401
00:19:29,319 --> 00:19:31,369
But after several months in court,

402
00:19:31,371 --> 00:19:33,988
there's a surprising verdict when the judge

403
00:19:33,990 --> 00:19:36,540
learns about the Grahams'
deal with Stinson.

404
00:19:36,542 --> 00:19:38,993
Brown: When the judge found the contract,

405
00:19:38,995 --> 00:19:43,331
he suddenly became pro-Tewksbury

406
00:19:43,333 --> 00:19:46,300
and dismissed the charges
against the Tewksburys

407
00:19:46,302 --> 00:19:47,718
for rustling.

408
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,721
Narrator: For the Grahams,
it's a crushing blow.

409
00:19:50,723 --> 00:19:52,974
Not only has their plan blown up,

410
00:19:52,976 --> 00:19:55,843
but now the Tewksburys
know the complete depravity

411
00:19:55,845 --> 00:19:59,180
of the double-cross.

412
00:19:59,182 --> 00:20:02,733
The Tewksburys are completely
betrayed by the Grahams

413
00:20:02,735 --> 00:20:04,685
in the most fundamental way.

414
00:20:04,687 --> 00:20:08,356
And so they're determined to get revenge.

415
00:20:12,578 --> 00:20:14,278
Narrator: Shortly after the trial,

416
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:18,532
a festering John Tewksbury can
no longer contain his anger,

417
00:20:18,534 --> 00:20:21,085
and he goes looking for John Graham.

418
00:20:21,087 --> 00:20:23,838
John Graham!

419
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:28,009
John Tewksbury has got a
temper and a violent streak.

420
00:20:28,011 --> 00:20:30,428
And that's what's gonna
get him into trouble.

421
00:20:30,430 --> 00:20:31,879
Narrator: Drunk with rage,

422
00:20:31,881 --> 00:20:35,132
he can't stop himself from striking a blow.

423
00:20:38,721 --> 00:20:41,222
But he quickly comes to his senses.

424
00:20:41,224 --> 00:20:43,524
The Grahams may have lost the court case,

425
00:20:43,526 --> 00:20:45,559
but they still have their sweet deal

426
00:20:45,561 --> 00:20:48,980
with powerful Judge Stinson.

427
00:20:48,982 --> 00:20:51,148
Surrounded by Stinson's men,

428
00:20:51,150 --> 00:20:54,902
John Tewksbury realizes
that, if he goes any further,

429
00:20:54,904 --> 00:20:56,704
he could be killed.

430
00:20:56,706 --> 00:20:58,739
And John Graham knows it, too.

431
00:21:00,877 --> 00:21:06,380
John Tewksbury has no choice
but to walk away seething.

432
00:21:06,382 --> 00:21:09,500
Both men know this is not the end.

433
00:21:15,892 --> 00:21:18,592
With the Grahams sitting
pretty in Pleasant Valley,

434
00:21:18,594 --> 00:21:22,229
the Tewksburys set out
to rebuild their lives.

435
00:21:22,231 --> 00:21:24,432
But even with the charges dismissed,

436
00:21:24,434 --> 00:21:27,651
the Arizonans reputation
as respectable cattlemen

437
00:21:27,653 --> 00:21:29,270
is ruined.

438
00:21:29,272 --> 00:21:31,772
So their lives are
exponentially more difficult

439
00:21:31,774 --> 00:21:34,742
than they were when the Grahams showed up.

440
00:21:34,744 --> 00:21:36,777
Narrator: Even worse, the legal fees

441
00:21:36,779 --> 00:21:38,612
from the protracted court battle

442
00:21:38,614 --> 00:21:42,500
have brought them to
the brink of bankruptcy.

443
00:21:42,502 --> 00:21:45,036
With their cattle operation finished,

444
00:21:45,038 --> 00:21:49,040
they lease their land to a
profitable, new enterprise...

445
00:21:49,042 --> 00:21:50,458
Sheep.

446
00:21:50,460 --> 00:21:52,460
Hutton: The Tewksburys
turned to sheepherding

447
00:21:52,462 --> 00:21:53,844
as a way to make some money.

448
00:21:53,846 --> 00:21:56,297
And they're willing to
lease out part of their range

449
00:21:56,299 --> 00:21:59,550
to sheep that are coming
down from the north.

450
00:21:59,552 --> 00:22:01,469
Narrator: Focused on this new venture,

451
00:22:01,471 --> 00:22:05,139
the Tewksburys keep to themselves.

452
00:22:05,141 --> 00:22:10,027
But they are merely biding
their time for revenge.

453
00:22:10,029 --> 00:22:12,980
I wouldn't say that they wanted
to let bygones be bygones,

454
00:22:12,982 --> 00:22:15,116
but they let things lie.

455
00:22:17,453 --> 00:22:21,322
Narrator: Meanwhile, the
Grahams fall upon hard times.

456
00:22:21,324 --> 00:22:25,576
Six months after their pact,
their benefactor, James Stinson,

457
00:22:25,578 --> 00:22:27,378
decides he isn't making the money

458
00:22:27,380 --> 00:22:29,296
he expected in Pleasant Valley.

459
00:22:29,298 --> 00:22:33,217
So he chooses to cash out
of his cattle operation.

460
00:22:33,219 --> 00:22:35,002
Trimble: When Stinson started this feud,

461
00:22:35,004 --> 00:22:37,505
it was to divide and
conquer for financial gain.

462
00:22:37,507 --> 00:22:38,923
That was his purpose.

463
00:22:38,925 --> 00:22:42,927
But it wasn't working out
for him, and he knew it.

464
00:22:42,929 --> 00:22:45,096
Narrator: With Stinson gone, the Grahams

465
00:22:45,098 --> 00:22:47,765
lose their protection
against the Tewksburys.

466
00:22:47,767 --> 00:22:50,684
Making matters worse,
their own cattle business

467
00:22:50,686 --> 00:22:53,821
is failing due to a new
player in the valley.

468
00:22:53,823 --> 00:22:55,656
Obregón Pagán: The Aztec
Land & Cattle Company

469
00:22:55,658 --> 00:22:58,192
who were there, also known
as the Hashknife Cowboys,

470
00:22:58,194 --> 00:23:02,279
moved their operations
from Texas into Arizona.

471
00:23:02,281 --> 00:23:06,417
Narrator: With 33,000 Texas
longhorns, the Hashknife outfit

472
00:23:06,419 --> 00:23:09,703
employs a band of armed
thugs to guard their herd,

473
00:23:09,705 --> 00:23:14,291
led by a particularly violent
man named Andy Blevins.

474
00:23:14,293 --> 00:23:16,677
Herring: Blevins had a
murder charge from Texas

475
00:23:16,679 --> 00:23:21,348
and was a serious outlaw, a killer of men.

476
00:23:21,350 --> 00:23:23,050
Narrator: Ever the opportunists,

477
00:23:23,052 --> 00:23:26,387
Tom and John Graham decide
to sell their small herd

478
00:23:26,389 --> 00:23:29,773
and go to work for the
Hashknives and Andy Blevins.

479
00:23:29,775 --> 00:23:36,230
The Grahams quickly understood the
benefits of wild people like Andy Blevins.

480
00:23:36,232 --> 00:23:37,898
Narrator: The Graham brothers now have

481
00:23:37,900 --> 00:23:41,735
the biggest cattle outfit
in the valley behind them.

482
00:23:41,737 --> 00:23:45,239
And the Aztec's operation is thriving.

483
00:23:45,241 --> 00:23:47,908
But there is one looming threat,

484
00:23:47,910 --> 00:23:53,464
the very venture the Tewksburys
have embarked upon... sheep.

485
00:23:53,466 --> 00:23:56,417
Sheep eat the grass
right down to the roots,

486
00:23:56,419 --> 00:23:57,551
and they leave nothing.

487
00:23:57,553 --> 00:23:59,220
They'll denude the land.

488
00:23:59,222 --> 00:24:02,339
Cattlemen all across the
west despise sheepherders.

489
00:24:02,341 --> 00:24:03,757
It's oil and water.

490
00:24:03,759 --> 00:24:05,309
Spangenberger: The cattlemen decided

491
00:24:05,311 --> 00:24:07,561
that the Mogollon Rim was an area

492
00:24:07,563 --> 00:24:09,763
that would separate the sheep ranching

493
00:24:09,765 --> 00:24:11,432
from the cattle ranching.

494
00:24:11,434 --> 00:24:14,518
And if the sheep came over
that, that was a no-no.

495
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,488
Once they did, then the troubles began.

496
00:24:19,025 --> 00:24:20,774
Narrator: And if the Hashknives and Grahams

497
00:24:20,776 --> 00:24:22,276
go after sheepherders,

498
00:24:22,278 --> 00:24:26,947
that means the Grahams will
go after the Tewksburys again.

499
00:24:26,949 --> 00:24:30,618
The feud between the
brothers is set to reignite.

500
00:24:33,256 --> 00:24:35,039
Trimble: February of 1887

501
00:24:35,041 --> 00:24:39,126
was the beginning of about
nine months of real hell.

502
00:24:39,128 --> 00:24:42,096
It began when one of the
Tewksburys drove the sheep

503
00:24:42,098 --> 00:24:43,464
over the Mogollon Rim,

504
00:24:43,466 --> 00:24:45,933
and you've got to know
there's outrage down there

505
00:24:45,935 --> 00:24:47,134
among the cattlemen.

506
00:24:47,136 --> 00:24:49,687
Then, all of a sudden,
things got real nasty.

507
00:24:49,689 --> 00:24:53,440
Hutton: Cowboy reaction to
sheep coming into the valley

508
00:24:53,442 --> 00:24:55,893
was to kill the sheep.

509
00:24:55,895 --> 00:24:58,362
That's exactly what they did.

510
00:24:58,364 --> 00:25:00,114
Narrator: The Tewksburys find their flock

511
00:25:00,116 --> 00:25:02,449
at the bottom of the canyon.

512
00:25:02,451 --> 00:25:04,535
They rimrocked the sheep, as it was called.

513
00:25:04,537 --> 00:25:07,288
They ran 'em over the
cliffs and killed them all.

514
00:25:09,625 --> 00:25:13,127
Narrator: The slaughtered
livestock is only the beginning.

515
00:25:13,129 --> 00:25:15,162
The carnage sparks a vicious war

516
00:25:15,164 --> 00:25:17,298
from which there is no turning back.

517
00:25:17,300 --> 00:25:19,466
Those murdering dogs!

518
00:25:19,468 --> 00:25:23,504
At stake is the
quintessential quest to survive

519
00:25:23,506 --> 00:25:25,472
on the American Frontier.

520
00:25:25,474 --> 00:25:28,342
Herring: They tipped it
over into real warfare.

521
00:25:28,344 --> 00:25:32,596
And what we get was this kind of
relentless, tit-for-tat violence.

522
00:25:39,192 --> 00:25:41,692
Narrator: It's February 1887,

523
00:25:41,694 --> 00:25:45,663
Pleasant Valley on the Arizona frontier.

524
00:25:45,665 --> 00:25:48,616
The blood feud between the
Tewksburys and the Grahams

525
00:25:48,618 --> 00:25:51,786
has been simmering and is
about to explode into one

526
00:25:51,788 --> 00:25:56,257
of the deadliest conflicts in
the history of the wild west.

527
00:25:56,259 --> 00:25:57,458
The Tewksbury brothers

528
00:25:57,460 --> 00:25:59,627
have discovered the wholesale slaughter

529
00:25:59,629 --> 00:26:03,047
of nearly their entire flock of sheep.

530
00:26:03,049 --> 00:26:06,100
Then, Ed and John follow a trail of blood

531
00:26:06,102 --> 00:26:09,470
to find an even more gruesome scene.

532
00:26:12,558 --> 00:26:14,308
Ed: They killed 'em.

533
00:26:17,981 --> 00:26:19,897
Those murdering dogs!

Hutton: They killed the sheepherder.

535
00:26:21,818 --> 00:26:24,819
And as story goes, to make matters worse,

536
00:26:24,821 --> 00:26:27,371
they beheaded him.

537
00:26:27,373 --> 00:26:29,240
Narrator: By using a beheading,

538
00:26:29,242 --> 00:26:32,326
a telltale Native
American form of execution,

539
00:26:32,328 --> 00:26:35,830
this savage slaughter
seems to be not just murder

540
00:26:35,832 --> 00:26:39,333
but a personal attack on
the Tewksburys heritage.

541
00:26:42,005 --> 00:26:44,839
Hutton: The Grahams were
really trying to send a message

542
00:26:44,841 --> 00:26:47,058
by this act of incredible violence.

543
00:26:47,060 --> 00:26:49,593
As if killing the sheep wasn't enough.

544
00:26:49,595 --> 00:26:52,596
This was so horrible to find the man

545
00:26:52,598 --> 00:26:55,766
who had been herding the sheep beheaded.

546
00:26:55,768 --> 00:26:58,069
You know who's behind this.

547
00:26:59,355 --> 00:27:00,855
You know what we have to do.

548
00:27:03,276 --> 00:27:05,326
The Tewksburys are just horrified,

549
00:27:05,328 --> 00:27:07,578
and they were determined to get revenge.

550
00:27:10,116 --> 00:27:13,668
Narrator: On August 19th,
they find their opportunity.

551
00:27:16,539 --> 00:27:19,457
The beloved younger
brother of Tom and John,

552
00:27:19,459 --> 00:27:25,546
18-year-old Billy Graham, is
out riding unguarded and alone

553
00:27:25,548 --> 00:27:28,215
when he's ambushed by a group of men...

[Gunshot]

555
00:27:30,603 --> 00:27:33,521
... who leave him there to die.

556
00:27:33,523 --> 00:27:35,389
Billy, barely alive,

557
00:27:35,391 --> 00:27:38,559
reportedly gallops his horse
home to the Grahams' ranch,

558
00:27:38,561 --> 00:27:41,028
hanging on for dear life.

559
00:27:41,030 --> 00:27:44,398
Now, all that the Grahams
know is that he leaves early

560
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,318
in the morning and, several hours later,

561
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:51,405
he comes back into the cabin bleeding.

562
00:27:51,407 --> 00:27:54,375
His bowels are falling out of his hands

563
00:27:54,377 --> 00:27:56,243
because he had been shot in the back.

564
00:28:01,918 --> 00:28:04,001
Who did this to you?

565
00:28:04,003 --> 00:28:06,170
Who shot you, Billy?

566
00:28:06,172 --> 00:28:08,305

who pulled the trigger.

568

Billy died a pretty
horrible and lingering death.

Narrator: For Tom Graham,

570
00:28:21,404 --> 00:28:24,605
this is not like the killing
of an anonymous shepherd.

This is family, his brother.

We now have a Tewksbury killing a Graham.

they swore that they were gonna
avenge their brother's murder

578
00:28:41,290 --> 00:28:43,624
by taking out the Tewksburys.

579
00:28:50,767 --> 00:28:52,800
Narrator: Filled with anguish,

580
00:28:52,802 --> 00:28:56,220
there is only one thing now
that will sate Tom's fury...

581
00:28:56,222 --> 00:28:58,806
The death of Ed Tewksbury.

You killed Billy.

587
00:29:21,998 --> 00:29:23,130
He came home last night

I'm gonna kill you.

right here, right now,

To take down his enemy,

he realizes he needs to bide his time

596

Spangenberger: Tewksbury
was a quick man with a gun.

a Tewksbury ally inside manages to escape.

698
00:35:20,813 --> 00:35:24,398
He escaped the snipers
and ran to get the law.

699
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:28,352
Narrator: But the justice of
the peace arrives too late.

700
00:35:28,354 --> 00:35:31,439
By the time the law arrived,
the Grahams are gone.

701
00:35:31,441 --> 00:35:35,192
Narrator: Miraculously, no one
inside the cabin is injured,

702
00:35:35,194 --> 00:35:39,280
and John Tewksbury can finally be buried.

703
00:35:39,282 --> 00:35:41,615
His brother Ed is shattered.

704
00:35:41,617 --> 00:35:44,535
The Tewksburys are at
high alert at this point.

705
00:35:44,537 --> 00:35:46,537
Now, one of their brothers has been killed.

706
00:35:46,539 --> 00:35:47,671
They're under assault,

707
00:35:47,673 --> 00:35:49,457
and they're fighting for their lives.

708
00:35:49,459 --> 00:35:52,209
Narrator: But after so much
back-and-forth violence,

709
00:35:52,211 --> 00:35:55,546
this gruesome crime sparks a larger outcry.

710
00:35:57,884 --> 00:36:00,301
For years, the Pleasant Valley war,

711
00:36:00,303 --> 00:36:01,802
as it comes to be known,

712
00:36:01,804 --> 00:36:03,721
has been making headlines.

713
00:36:03,723 --> 00:36:05,189
Newspapers chronicle

714
00:36:05,191 --> 00:36:08,859
each offense of the Grahams,
the Tewksburys, the Hashknives

715
00:36:08,861 --> 00:36:12,863
and anyone else caught
up in the range violence.

716
00:36:12,865 --> 00:36:15,199
They say as many as 50 people died.

717
00:36:15,201 --> 00:36:17,118
Many were missing and never found.

718
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,320
[Gunshots]

719
00:36:19,322 --> 00:36:21,789
The governor of Arizona
demands a crackdown.

720
00:36:21,791 --> 00:36:23,624
Arizona wants statehood.

721
00:36:23,626 --> 00:36:25,993
They're never gonna get
statehood when every newspaper

722
00:36:25,995 --> 00:36:30,965
portrays Arizona as a wild-eyed
cowboy shooting guns in the air.

723
00:36:30,967 --> 00:36:34,085
And so posses go out.

724
00:36:34,087 --> 00:36:37,138
Narrator: On September 21, 1887,

725
00:36:37,140 --> 00:36:41,509
sheriff William Mulvenon
enters Pleasant Valley.

726
00:36:41,511 --> 00:36:42,810
Obregón Pagán: He rounds up a posse,

727
00:36:42,812 --> 00:36:45,930
deputy sheriffs of
different towns in the area.

728
00:36:45,932 --> 00:36:49,183
They all come in to arrest the Grahams.

729
00:36:49,185 --> 00:36:50,601
Narrator: The sheriff and his men

730
00:36:50,603 --> 00:36:54,855
hide out in the general store
near the Grahams' property

731
00:36:54,857 --> 00:36:57,024
and lie in wait

732
00:36:57,026 --> 00:37:01,362
until John Graham and one of
the Hashknife Cowboys appear.

733
00:37:03,416 --> 00:37:04,832
When they get close enough,

734
00:37:04,834 --> 00:37:07,751
the sheriff steps out
from behind the store.

735
00:37:07,753 --> 00:37:09,336
Throw down your guns!

736
00:37:11,791 --> 00:37:15,509
They're not about to
surrender. They pull their guns.

737
00:37:15,511 --> 00:37:18,095
That was all the permission
that the law ever needed.

738
00:37:18,097 --> 00:37:21,432
[Gunshots]

739
00:37:21,434 --> 00:37:24,435
They start blazing away.

740
00:37:24,437 --> 00:37:26,020
Spangenberger: The shooting was wild.

741
00:37:26,022 --> 00:37:27,555
They just put out a hail of lead.

742
00:37:39,902 --> 00:37:42,570
The Hashknife cowboy was killed instantly.

743
00:37:42,572 --> 00:37:48,459
Narrator: But John is alive,
and the sheriff wants answers.

744
00:37:48,461 --> 00:37:51,128
Where's your brother, John?

745
00:37:51,130 --> 00:37:53,964
You're gonna want to see him
with what time you got left.

746
00:37:53,966 --> 00:37:56,967
The sheriff says, "I promise you that,

747
00:37:56,969 --> 00:37:59,503
if you tell me where he is,
I will let him stay with you

748
00:37:59,505 --> 00:38:01,555
for these last few moments of your life."

749
00:38:01,557 --> 00:38:02,806
You have my word.

750
00:38:02,808 --> 00:38:05,259
I won't arrest him.

751
00:38:05,261 --> 00:38:06,927
I don't know where he is,

752
00:38:06,929 --> 00:38:09,396
and damned if I tell you if I did.

753
00:38:09,398 --> 00:38:12,066
Obregón Pagán: John refused to
give up where his brother was,

754
00:38:12,068 --> 00:38:15,853
and he dies quietly about
an hour after the shootout.

755
00:38:21,194 --> 00:38:24,111
Narrator: Tom Graham quickly
learns of his brother's death

756
00:38:24,113 --> 00:38:26,163
and that the law is after him.

757
00:38:26,165 --> 00:38:28,949
You have to remember that Tom Graham

758
00:38:28,951 --> 00:38:31,702
was the last man standing
in the Graham family.

759
00:38:31,704 --> 00:38:34,588
Narrator: And he makes a fateful decision.

760
00:38:34,590 --> 00:38:36,207
The death of John Graham

761
00:38:36,209 --> 00:38:39,343
ends with posses scouring the countryside.

762
00:38:39,345 --> 00:38:42,963
Tom Graham decides just to get
the hell out of Pleasant Valley.

763
00:38:43,799 --> 00:38:45,633
Narrator: With Tom Graham vanished,

764
00:38:45,635 --> 00:38:49,937
Ed Tewksbury has no
choice but to stand down.

765
00:38:49,939 --> 00:38:51,805
Hutton: Everything quiets down.

766
00:38:51,807 --> 00:38:54,441
It seemed as if peace
had come to the valley,

767
00:38:54,443 --> 00:38:56,777
as if the war was over.

768
00:38:56,779 --> 00:39:00,197
Narrator: But there's a
final battle still to come.

769
00:39:05,988 --> 00:39:07,371
1892.

770
00:39:07,373 --> 00:39:11,041
It's been five years since
the deaths of John Graham,

771
00:39:11,043 --> 00:39:13,827
Billy Graham and John Tewksbury

772
00:39:13,829 --> 00:39:15,496
when word reaches Ed

773
00:39:15,498 --> 00:39:20,251
that his old enemy is alive
and well in Tempe, Arizona.

774
00:39:20,253 --> 00:39:24,255
Tom Graham was reported to
have boasted that he took part

775
00:39:24,257 --> 00:39:26,674
in the murder of John Tewksbury.

776
00:39:28,344 --> 00:39:33,397
From Ed's perspective,
justice has not been served.

777
00:39:33,399 --> 00:39:35,015
The guy who took credit for having

778
00:39:35,017 --> 00:39:40,187
murdered his older brother
is still living free.

779
00:39:40,189 --> 00:39:46,360
Narrator: Filled with fury, Ed
vows to track his Nemesis down.

780
00:39:46,362 --> 00:39:49,530
Obregón Pagán: Ed decided
that he needed to enact justice

781
00:39:49,532 --> 00:39:51,081
on behalf of the family.

782
00:39:51,083 --> 00:39:53,917
Brown: Finally, Tewksbury
said, "I'll go down to Tempe

783
00:39:53,919 --> 00:39:56,704
and put an end to this.

784
00:39:56,706 --> 00:39:57,788
I'll kill Tom Graham."

785
00:40:01,579 --> 00:40:06,832
Narrator: It's August 2,
1892, Arizona territory.

786
00:40:06,834 --> 00:40:09,385
Ed Tewksbury's Nemesis, Tom Graham,

787
00:40:09,387 --> 00:40:12,722
disappeared from pleasant
valley five years ago.

788
00:40:12,724 --> 00:40:16,225
But Ed's finally tracked
him down to Tempe, Arizona,

789
00:40:16,227 --> 00:40:20,096
where he's been living
a quiet life as a farmer.

790
00:40:20,098 --> 00:40:22,231
Notorious throughout the country,

791
00:40:22,233 --> 00:40:25,234
this bitter feud has
claimed countless lives

792
00:40:25,236 --> 00:40:27,603
and has been raging for a decade.

793
00:40:29,824 --> 00:40:32,108
Brown: Finally, Tewksbury
said, "I'll go down to Tempe

794
00:40:32,110 --> 00:40:33,826
and put an end to this.

795
00:40:33,828 --> 00:40:35,911
I'll kill Tom Graham."

796
00:40:35,913 --> 00:40:38,080
Narrator: This is the final chapter

797
00:40:38,082 --> 00:40:39,949
in the Pleasant Valley war.

798
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:45,504
That morning, an unsuspecting Tom Graham

799
00:40:45,506 --> 00:40:48,207
begins his daily routine.

800
00:40:48,209 --> 00:40:49,458
Obregón Pagán: Tom gets up early.

801
00:40:49,460 --> 00:40:53,429
It's been a good year
that year for his crop.

802
00:40:53,431 --> 00:40:57,800
Narrator: He doesn't notice a
looming figure on the horizon.

803
00:40:57,802 --> 00:40:59,852
Obregón Pagán: Tom's
minding his own business.

804
00:40:59,854 --> 00:41:02,138
Suddenly, he hears a sound.

805
00:41:06,644 --> 00:41:09,612
[Gun cocks]

806
00:41:09,614 --> 00:41:11,781
I'm unarmed.

807
00:41:11,783 --> 00:41:14,316
Your time has come, Tom.

808
00:41:14,318 --> 00:41:17,453
You're the one man I don't
mind shooting in the back.

809
00:41:21,659 --> 00:41:23,325
I figured as much.

810
00:41:26,047 --> 00:41:27,663
I'll pay my penance.

811
00:41:30,668 --> 00:41:32,001
Meet you in hell, Ed.

812
00:41:41,562 --> 00:41:43,012
[Gunshot]

813
00:41:45,850 --> 00:41:49,318
The force of it is so strong
that it throws him back,

814
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,604
severing part of his spine.

815
00:41:54,692 --> 00:41:57,243
Narrator: The wound is mortal.

816
00:41:57,245 --> 00:41:59,695
Obregón Pagán: He's bleeding,
and he's just laying there.

817
00:41:59,697 --> 00:42:01,414
All he can do is look up.

818
00:42:01,416 --> 00:42:02,865
Narrator: There's a code on the range

819
00:42:02,867 --> 00:42:05,618
to show mercy when an animal is dying.

820
00:42:05,620 --> 00:42:08,087
Trimble: The code of the
west wasn't just a creation

821
00:42:08,089 --> 00:42:10,289
out of the Hollywood cowboy movies.

822
00:42:10,291 --> 00:42:13,375
There was an honor among cowboys.

823
00:42:13,377 --> 00:42:17,046
Narrator: But Ed Tewksbury
shows no such mercy.

824
00:42:21,769 --> 00:42:24,270
The last Graham has been killed,

825
00:42:24,272 --> 00:42:28,107
and Ed is the last Tewksbury standing.

826
00:42:28,109 --> 00:42:31,060
When Edwin Tewksbury shot Tom Graham,

827
00:42:31,062 --> 00:42:35,064
that shot closed one of
the bloodiest chapters

828
00:42:35,066 --> 00:42:36,732
of our history.

829
00:42:39,403 --> 00:42:43,239
The west would never
see the like of it again.

830
00:42:43,241 --> 00:42:49,161
Narrator: With the death of Tom,
the Pleasant Valley war is over.

831
00:42:49,163 --> 00:42:52,748
Ed Tewksbury is eventually
arrested and placed on trial

832
00:42:52,750 --> 00:42:54,884
for the murder of Tom Graham.

833
00:42:54,886 --> 00:42:57,086
But due to a technicality in court,

834
00:42:57,088 --> 00:42:58,804
the case is thrown out.

835
00:42:58,806 --> 00:43:01,423
Ed walks out a free man.

836
00:43:06,097 --> 00:43:08,063
Hutton: Ed Tewksbury was the last man

837
00:43:08,065 --> 00:43:09,431
in the Pleasant Valley war.

838
00:43:09,433 --> 00:43:12,401
He went on to become a... a deputy sheriff.

839
00:43:12,403 --> 00:43:14,937
And his future was secure...

840
00:43:14,939 --> 00:43:18,440
To live out a peaceful life
and die with his boots on.

841
00:43:18,442 --> 00:43:20,776
Narrator: Having avenged
his brother's death,

842
00:43:20,778 --> 00:43:25,614
Ed Tewksbury dies peacefully
of natural causes in 1904.

843
00:43:25,616 --> 00:43:27,616
Hutton: And so a quiet ending

844
00:43:27,618 --> 00:43:30,920
to the last survivor of
the Pleasant Valley war.

845
00:43:33,374 --> 00:43:36,709
Narrator: While these two men,
Tom Graham and Ed Tewksbury,

846
00:43:36,711 --> 00:43:38,544
may now be long gone,

847
00:43:38,546 --> 00:43:41,964
the impact of their blood
feud is felt to this day.

848
00:43:41,966 --> 00:43:44,466
You know, when you look
at this, nobody won.

849
00:43:44,468 --> 00:43:47,186
Everybody was scarred by this experience.

850
00:43:47,188 --> 00:43:50,389
Narrator: The carnage and
violence of this war is so vicious

851
00:43:50,391 --> 00:43:54,527
it's credited with delaying
Arizona's admission as a state.

852
00:43:54,529 --> 00:43:57,646
It was 1912 before Arizona became a state,

853
00:43:57,648 --> 00:44:02,234
the last of the 48 Continental
United States to be admitted.

854
00:44:02,236 --> 00:44:04,320
Narrator: And the blood-soaked feud

855
00:44:04,322 --> 00:44:06,288
still maintains a notorious place

856
00:44:06,290 --> 00:44:09,325
in the history of the American Frontier.

857
00:44:09,327 --> 00:44:12,411
Herring: Pleasant Valley war was
one of the bloodiest conflicts

858
00:44:12,413 --> 00:44:13,712
in American history.

859
00:44:13,714 --> 00:44:17,166
As many as 50 people died
directly in the conflict.

860
00:44:17,168 --> 00:44:19,468
Hutton: It really was a blood feud

861
00:44:19,470 --> 00:44:21,971
that took on such epic proportions.

862
00:44:21,973 --> 00:44:27,745
It brought the wild west vividly to
life for people all across the country.
