God Rock Radio # 158 – The Alternative Wild West Vol 3 (Racist Killers, Class Warfare & Forgotten Outlaws)

In the third installment of GRR’s popular series, Jack “The Agnostic” Garcia examines the bloody range wars of the late 19th century. A battle for survival between the ultra poor homesteaders and settlers against the mighty ,mega wealthy cattle barons of Montana and Wyoming. A class driven conflict in which the big ranchers hired mercenary armies of thugs and killers in order to protect their interests while the homesteaders were forced to grab their weapons and protect themselves. Next up , Jack recites the legend of the unholy King of the Scalphunters, John Joel Glanton – a diabolical monster who made his fortune collecting the scalps of Mexicans and Native Americans. Crazy as a rabid dog , Glanton blazed a twisted and violent trail through the southwest. Then Jack tells the sad story of the Buck Gang , a well armed group of mixed race teenage boys , who one day are harassed by a racist deputy sheriff , setting into motion a legendary criminal rampage across Oklahoma and Arkansas.
