HIDDEN PLACES: Was Tom Horn Innocent? The True Story of Wyoming’s Most Famous Hired Gun

Описание: Was he a legendary scout or a cold-blooded killer? In this video, we dive deep into the life and dark legacy of Tom Horn—a Pinkerton detective, U.S. Army scout, and "range detective" whose name still sparks debate in the American West. We explore the tragic murder of 14-year-old Willie Nickell and the questionable confession that led to Horn’s execution. You’ll see the bizarre "Julian Gallows"—a water-powered machine hidden inside a Cheyenne building—and learn why modern historians are still divided on his guilt. #history #documentary #historicalfigures
