    Kansas, the Old West and the Legend of Elfego Baca
    Katie Keckeisen
    One legend of the Old West involves a Mexican-American lawman who grew up in Topeka. The lawman once fought off dozens of gunfighters in New Mexico in a battle that lasted more than 30 hours. After 4,000 rounds were fired, the lawman emerged unscathed. Commentator Katie Keckeisen has more on the legend of Elfego Baca and his connection to Kansas.
