Shakespeare is in New Mexico??

Yes!!! The town that is. Shakespeare was host to the likes of Billy the Kid, Johnny Ringo and The Clantons. It was also part of the Butterfield Stage Line along with Steins, NM. It was a mining town without law. It started dying when a railroad was built in Lordsburg, NM. The is a website you need to look about Shakespeare. It had a fire in 1997 and lost 3 buildings and irreplacable materials. http://www.shakespeareghostown.com/history.html
