The first 30 seconds of this video is a lie…can’t wait to hear the rest of this..
So Pat Garrett murders Charlie Bowdrie (Billys good friend) at Stinking Springs then captures him and Arkansas Dave who they dont mention, takes him back to Lincoln, leaves Billy in hopes he can pull of the escape unscathed just so they can split $500.…?
The people claiming to know Billy back in 1881 were 10–13 years old at the time of his death.…..Then 70 years later they see this old man that resembles some of Billys features and are just like oh yeah thats him for sure.…
How can you call Pat Garrett ethical for letting the Kid go and killing an innocent man.
24:09 You hate remember the tintype is warped, Billy’s face was not asymmetrical. Imagine how much of a match it would be without the warping!
There’s also an obituary from the time that claimed Billy “stained his skin brown to appear as a mexican and grew a full beard” and another source that said the body’s skin was brown. This fits Brushy’s claim that it was his half mexican friend, who got shot.
Odilia Maxwell, who was there that night, later wrote that it wasn’t actually Billy who got shot and Pat pretended it was; so she went along with it to allow Billy to escape.That also fits Brushy’s version, that later two women told him he need to leave, Pat’s passing off Barlow as him and Odilia is crying and going along with it.
It wasn’t a plot between Billy and Pat, the sherriff shot the wrong man and could have been hung for it.
Also it wasn’t that easy to identify people back then, the other lawmen there had never seen Billy. And there were only a couple pictures of him in the entire country, one in the hands of Billy’s friend. It’s not like he’d be recognized everywhere he went, even some of the people hunting him didn’t know what he looked like.
P.s. the claim he signed up for the WW1 draft and would have been to young to be Billy, comes from people saying he was really Oliver P. Robert’s and they think that because sometimes he went by Oliver L. Roberts. Not only are their signatures different, but their family had a bible with the family’s genealogy written in it. It says William Henry Roberts was born 1859 and Oliver Pleasant Roberts was born in 1978. They were not the same person and this also fits Brushy saying Oliver was his cousin
At the 40 minute mark, it was stated that Pat Garrett collected the reward for Billy the Kid, but recorded history tells a different story.
Pat was never given the reward! Whether it was because he “conveniently” lost the Coroner’s Inquiry paperwork or because Governor Lew Wallace didn’t believe it was Billy the Kid is a big part of the mystery. History does report that Pat Garrett received more than twice the Governor’s reward [$1200-$1400 in total] from various New Mexico businessmen and cattle barons. My belief is that Pat Garrett covered up his murder of a half white, half Mexican man named Billy Barlow who he thought he could pass off as Billy the Kid if he acted quickly. Although details about the life of “Brushy Bill” William H. Roberts seem outrageous according to the Daniel A. Edwards book, “Billy the Kid: An Autobiography” I do believe him to be Billy the Kid!
DNA testing proved brushy bill wasn’t Billy
He wasn’t killed buy Pat
New Mexico sucks
What a snapper of a vid!! But the REAL snapper is that if you are funded by mainstream corporations which are owned by those that sway the minds of the masses via smoke and mirrors, you must be CRAZY! If you want to see the reality of our existence and even understand maybe for the first time in your life, no matter how old you are, you may see what GOD really is and ZERO religion is used to show you. In fact, the premise speaks to God vs Science and both are paths to the same end; it is not that simple though. For the juicy details, here is an excerpt from that vid and it will blow your mind because if taken to its ultimate conclusion…it has the power to save humanity from the evils of religion and ignorance of godlessness without bringing religion or violating their mainstream science views to see it. A win, win and we need a win before we annihilate ourselves…something big this year but we may just avert it. “if the purpose of evolution is to produce consciousness of
an increasingly High construct then the universe is a teaching and learning
machine simultaneously its purpose is to know itself possibly
through us this is where bent off drops us a little hint where he says uh study
the micro and you’ll find the macro reflected in it in other words if we
study ourselves thoroughly we will find the Creator there waiting for us” Library of the Untold
If this story is not true, its a heck of a re-do!!! Pray somebody makes a major motion picture with the true history and do great marketing on the movie! A Blockbuster! What the people need now are the REAL cowboys! Where have all the cowboys gone??
I’m here my name is Clarence Spencer aka meat meat good morning 🌞🌄
If anyone takes their death, it wasn’t Tupac, Butch Cassidy, Elvis, or DB Cooper, it was Billy The Kid and of course Pat’s descendents believe he killed Billy. That’s their grand pappys only real claim to fame and probably mashed them money to this day
Enjoyed this until they said BB was Billy the Kid, that’s pure nonsense, BB’s age doesn’t even match.
I seriously doubt a cold blooded killer could stop completely and not even be a theif and live out a long life.
It seems awful funny that 3 generations of Pat Garrett’s family is still making a living off Billy the Kid!!! Didn’t that family ever want to live on their own ?
Brushy Bill was a pathological liar
25:13 Was ‘Brushy Bill’ left-handed?
Billy the kid had nf1
There’s no way Garret killed Billy! The most famous outlaw at that time and not a single picture was taken! I understand that cameras weren’t always in reach back then, the only camera around was probably days away, but you figure they’d wait a few days for one and get a picture, either that or have Billy’s corpse out on display for everyone to see. There’s just a whole lot that doesn’t add up. I live right by Lincoln New Mexico and I’ve been interested in this story since I was 5 years old lol and everything I’ve heard, even thru my great grandfather’s father, Pat actually helped Billy and staged everything so he’d get away.
Who exactly “Authenticated” his photograph?
If Garret were a friend of John Tunstal, this would explain everything.
But what happened with the girlfriend and what did she have to say?
The movie Young Guns is based on Tungstle death and Billy’s reaction after.
I’ve always believed Garrett helped Billy,besides he didn’t have but 2 choices disappear or die witch one would you choose?
Always doubted his death as there are no convincing autopsy photos — quite odd… Billy stood up to a system of control. He was an anti-hero, at least. Villains today will be seen as heroes in the future — make no mistake. You’re all indoctrinated XD. Long as you do what you’re told, empires will fall and villains will be heroes. <3 Billy the Kid!
Plot twist — Pat Garrett is Billy the Kid in disguise…
They mention Billy the Kid meeting Jesse James , but they didn’t mention his run in with Wyatt Earp. In which is a good story.
