A prominent real-life figure in the Lincoln County War was killed in the Billy the Kid season 2 premiere, marking a stark deviation from history.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary The season 2 premiere of Billy the Kid rewrites history by prematurely killing a major historical figure of the Lincoln County War. Beginning in February 1878 in the developing United States territory of Lincoln County, New Mexico, the Lincoln County War was an ongoing violent feud that lasted until 1881. One of the most important real-life figures in the was was William H.

Many Billy the Kid characters seen in season 2 of the MGM+ series take part on either side of the Lincoln County War, which resulted in the deaths of at least 23 killed and 23 wounded. The death of a prominent historical figure on the Murphy side of the conflict raises questions about the accuracy of the Billy the Kid series, particularly due to the significance of the character that was shot dead in the season 2 premiere.

Dolan was furious when Tunstall opened his general store and bank which effectively ruined his shared monopoly with Murphy. Dolan himself challenged Tunstall to a gunfight before hiring several hired hands to do his gunslinging on his and Murphy's behalf, one of which was the famed Jesse Evans gang. When Tunstall was shot and killed in February 1878, there was great suspicion that Dolan was the one who ordered the attack.

Why Billy The Kid Changes Jim Dolan's Death & What It Means For Season 2 It's unclear exactly why Dolan was killed off before the Lincoln County War gained momentum considering his huge role in starting it. One possibility in killing off Dolan so early is to declare a lack of devotion to historical accuracy in the MGM+ series, especially since a few other significant points seen in Billy the Kid season 1 are also historically inaccurate.
