I never heard about this "battle" before either and would like to learn more.
If this were to happen today, I fear the good guys in this case would have been killed by State or other authorities without question
and anyone left alive would have been sent to prison for life as a domestic terrorist.
Society today simply can not wrap it's head around bearing arms against authority, no matter how corrupt or illegal that authority may be.
