There is a lot of misinformation about Billy the Kid's death. This is your comprehensive guide to cut through the noise and determine fact from fiction. Thank you to all of the historians whose research I rely upon.
On the night of July 14th, 1881, Sheriff Pat Garrett gunned down Billy the Kid. Or did he? Why is there still so much confusion surrounding the alleged death of William H. Bonney? Is it true that Pat Garrett’s deputies said that he killed the wrong man? Why did Sheriff Garrett bury the body without letting anyone see it? What was he trying to hide? And why was there no photograph taken? If Garrett did kill the Kid, why didn’t he receive the reward? And while we’re asking questions, who was this Billy Barlow character? What’s that all about? And who was Brushy Bill Roberts? Did Brushy have all the same scars as Billy the Kid? And wasn’t there a photo comparison study conducted by the FBI that showed Brushy and Billy were a 93% match? We will discuss all this and more as we finally clear up a few misconceptions concerning one of the greatest history hoaxes of all time! #history #western #wildwest

Never

@CleoHarperReturns 17 дней назад

Closed, of course. It should never have been reopened in the first place. All this crazy speculation does is strip Billy's death of its dignity. Whether one believes he was an outlaw or a freedom fighter, he was indeed just a kid who truly believed he was on the right side of the law. Turning him into Forrest Gump does his memory a huge disservice.

@danielwebster5748 17 дней назад

I think that that was very uncharacteristic of Billy the kid. He would not be sneaking around barefoot with a butcher knife in his hand if he saw strangers particularly Anglos.. and to me this is the biggest thing that proves that Billy the kid was not the man that gunned down why in the hell would he go down there with a porch full and a room full of anglos and speaking Spanish.. I will even go further than that that was so uncharacteristic of Billy the kid that even if brushy bill was proven to not be Billy the kid I would still believe he escaped. He had a sixth sense that saved him and Pat Garrett had already gone down the wrong Man twice. Also on their deathbed it was proven that they both deputies said he shot the wrong man. Both men said he shot. A Mexican that was coming to get a slice of beef. And I think the proof of that whether people want to believe it or not is he would never go in there with a group full of angels and speak in Spanish.

@danielwebster5748 17 дней назад

I love your videos but in this case you and me are going to disagree Billy the kid would never go up on the porch where they were strangers and speak in Spanish. Delvina Maxwell also said me and the coroner's jury who was all Spanish are mostly all Spanish live at the time and said it was Billy the kid because we wanted him to get away and it worked didn't it. She said the man in the room was absolutely not Billy the kid it was a half breed. She said the corner story the Spaniards talk to the over amongst themselves and said Billy has done so much to help us that now we need to help him. I don't give a damn about the 93% match. Even his own daughter said my father shot the wrong man and to keep himself from getting hung because the man was not wanted he lied and said it was Billy the kid. Where is very very few people that agree that Billy the kid was dead and a ton of them that believed he got away. I'm not talking about historians or modern-day people I'm talking about contemporaries. Both deputy said right off the bat pat you shot the wrong man. It was a Mexican and we would have never allowed him on the porch if it was Billy.finally Pat bully them and the jury in the saying it was Billy the kid. But on their deathbed they most definitely 100% without a doubt said Billy the kid was not shot that night or any other night. That Pat Garrett for the THIRD TIME. YOU KNOW HE HAD A POLICY OF SHOOT FIRST AND ASK QUESTIONS LATER IT BOGGLES MY MIND WHILE PEOPLE JUST AUTOMATICALLY ACCEPT THAT HE KILLED THE KID. I MEAN ACCORDING TO DELVINA MAXWELL THE FIRST WOMAN IN THE ROOM THAT PAT GARRETT AND THE DEPUTIES WERE TOO BUSY RUNNING AND SHE HAD TO GO IN THERE AND MAKE THE IDENTIFICATION. THE MEXICANS LATER SAID THAT PAT GARRETT IN PARTICULAR WAS SCREAMING LIKE A WOMAN. SHE CUSSED THEM FOR COWARDS WHEN THEY WOULD NOT GO IN AND SHE WENT IN HERSELF. THESE ARE THE COWARDS AND THE LIARS THAT PEOPLE BELIEVE SHOT BILLY THE KID. I MEAN JUST LOOK AT HIS BOOK ON BILLY THE KID IT'S A BOOK OF FAIRY TALES. BECAUSE OF THAT BOOK WHICH IS A BOOK PACKED WITH LIES PAT GARRETT PROVES THAT HE IS NOT TRUSTWORTHY YET EVERYONE JUST ACCEPTS THAT HE SHOT BILLY THE KID. HAD HE PUT HIM ON ICE AND WAITED FOR A CAMERA I DON'T CARE HOW FAR AWAY IT WAS HE WOULD HAVE DEFINITELY TAKEN A PICTURE BECAUSE THAT WOULD HAVE PUT HIM NOT ON ME AS A SHERIFF FOR LIFE BUT PROBABLY IN THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE. PEOPLE REALLY NEED TO LOOK AT IT LOGICALLY HE ALREADY SHOT BILLY THE KID TWICE BEFORE. I MEAN COME ON. I LOVE YOUR STORIES AND VIDEOS BUT ON THIS WE WILL NEVER AGREE. I DON'T SEE HOW ANYONE CAN BELIEVE THAT BILLY THE KID WOULD WANDER AROUND AIMLESSLY AND GET SHOT WITH ANGLOS IN THE AREA AND HE KNEW PAT GARRETT WAS IN THE AREA.

@Shannon_Dobbs 12 дней назад

Josh, I will say this. I do NOT believe that Brushy Bill was Billy the Kid. I DO believe that Billy was gunned down by Garrett in 1881. However… I do, wholeheartedly, wish that when Joseph McCarty met Garrett, years after Billy’s death, that Pat told Joseph: “Look, I shot the wrong man, convinced all in Fort Sumner to pass him off as your brother, met up with Billy later and told him to get his ass to old Mexico and not come back, and he’s still there, and this is where.” I WISH that would be the real reason why Joseph left amicably and later said it was concluded, and Billy lived a low key life and died surrounded by family. No lying Brushy Bill, just a former outlaw, given a second chance and taking it, living his life quietly in old Mexico, regaling his brother with stories of his adventures until old man Bonney passed quietly. A man can dream.

Besides the bloating...a few other bodily issues would not have provided a quality photo, anyway. So...its understandable as to why the Governor didn't require such identification...and of course, the eyewitnesses made up for the unfortunate, circumstances.

I guess every few years these stories pop up and a new generation believes these fairy tales that Billy the Kid somehow survived and lived until his 90’s. I gotta say, this is a very interesting and in depth, definitive account of Billy The Kid’s death. The best I’ve heard.

So let's assume Billy the Kid was tanning his skin to pass himself off as a Mexican. Would it not be logical to assume that he spoke Mexican as to not give away his identity. I mean if I'm going through all that trouble to make myself look like a Mexican to keep myself from being picked up by the law and I know how to speak Spanish I would think I would be speaking Spanish every chance I get even if I'm with a group of people that I trust I would think I would be wanting to speak Spanish and every opportunity that I got just to keep people from identifying me.

Out of all of the Wild West era people Billy the Kid story has always been the most interesting to me, not sure why. Sure would have been nice to know what all was said between Pat Garrett and Joseph Antrim when they met.

Well, btk held my great great grandfather at gunpoint till he revealed his special recipe and Billy said "dayam! That is finger lickin good!" ... They became friends and soon after my great great grandfather left to join General Custer and subsequently lived in the battle of little big horn and was adopted by Geronimo who named him "little white moustache" (he had yet to grow the goatee part on his chin) anyways long story short btk was allowed to run away that night after he bought "his" special recipe fried chicken into the bedroom of maxwell and garrot, who were lovers, and the rest is history. Brushy bill Roberts was just one of garrets lovers who got the name "brushy bill" cos his mustache "tickled" if ya get ma drift😂 ..... That's all certified true, as told by my uncle, who was told by his mother who saw my great great grandfather looking very upset and saying "damn you billy....damn you ta hell you S.O.B!" and related what happened.

Zapata, while not as famous in the USA as his contemporary, Pancho Villa, had a very colorful life in his own rite. In case you haven't already considered it, Emiliano's story would make a fine edition and addition to an impressive collection you've built on your chanel.

Off topic, but as a bit of a connoisseur for Wild West History and Stories, I f*cking love this channel. Your Content is so engaging and it is never dull, for me at least. I was never really into the History of the Old West until I played through Red Dead 2. I played Red Dead 1 as a kid but.. I was a kid, I couldn't grasp the story of RDR1 even if I tried, so when I played RDR2, a somewhat romanticized Game set at the tail end of the "Outlaw Era" as an adult back in 2021-ish, I became absolutely fascinated with the real History of those times, which eventually led me to this channel. So, we can thank Rockstar Games for opening me up to this sort of stuff and leading me to this Channel, because I don't regret a second that I sit and listen to these Episodes. Sidenote: Don't let anyone tell you that Video Games can't be beneficial, because when you have absolute masterpieces of Storytelling like RDR2, a Game so well made that I am almost positive that it led many younger people like me to look into the real history of the times that Game is set into, you lead people down the Rabbit Hole and in the process they LEARN something about REAL History, and that certainly provides some sort of value to society. Great stuff!

I'm sure I'm not the only female fan here who's been approached by full of crap losers like Brushy Bill lol. He was a pathetic compulsive lier. And if I was psychic I would think it a good probability that David might still live with his mom, but of course I could be wrong. Dude, I loved the intensity of the way you brought the A-game of facts over fantasy. I've been a total tomgirl all my life surfing, climbing, hunting, etc..and being born and raised in the West, I love hearing the old stories especially the outlaws. Your channel rocks 🎩😎🤘

I was given a manuscript by an author, of a book that was wrote about Brushy, not even sure if it was ever published. I’ve always been so fascinated with his history. It’s been years since I’ve researched his history but a “player” Bob Olinger in his history was from Delphi, Indiana…which I lived nearby as well as Indianapolis. I belonged to the New Mexico Billy the Kid historical club for years….I even have the Billy license plate..pretty cool. My thoughts on no photo being taken, it was a precaution, I believe there were so many people there that did adore Billy, that Pat and the law thought it would have been a better idea not to flaunt it. It’s my belief that Pat actually respected Billy to some extent. I can pass along the name of the manuscript and a couple pics if you’re interested.

Billy retired from a small pet shop in Tijuana. The shop was pretty much black, gray and white except for the red or blue Beta fish and a couple other secondary examples for a texture. He spent his last years living casually paranoid while occasionally shitting in a hole and eating barbecue iguana. Perhaps at the same time and place.

I knew an old man back in the 70's, actually 73,74,75, i was 13,14,15 but that old man knew it all, seen it all,done it all. He loved to talk, and supposedly rode with different outlaws ( criminals), knew a lot of different criminals, he was a early SEAL , which was a frogmen, way back in the day, WW2, i think? Hell I don't remember what all he used to say or tell everyone back then, I think most of us just liked to hear him talk and tell his stories, and stories i believe was all they were, i don't know he may have done some of that shit but nobody really knew. He was damn near 100 in 74-75, looked like he was in his 70's, but yeah back in the late 1800's he run with some outlaws, on horseback, out west, haha, but like i said, who the hell knows. Man if he did half the shit he claimed, he'd be one bad SOB. Geez! Lol

@prophez23 15 дней назад

I live in northern New Mexico just a half mile from the Pecos river in Pecos NM and I've always had a huge interest in Billy the Kid and I've gone back and forth with him being Brushy Bill or being shot by Pat Garrett and no matter what my thinking always comes back to the fact that Garrett did actually kill the Kid. In a way that brings me comfort knowing that Billy rode into the history books here in New Mexico and his bones rest here in New Mexico and no where else. You can take a good look at Brushy Bill and see that he really wasn't Billy the Kid. Great work on bringing common sense and truth to all the conspiracy theories. Everyone I've ever talked to here for the most part say that he was killed by Garrett. A few believe differently but everyone has their own opinions and you can't change it.

You stated “the only picture of Billy the Kid”. The second picture found at a garage sale a decade ago fetched 5 million to the finder. A picture of Billy the Kid and his fellow regulators playing croquet at their mentor’s house who brought the game of Croquet from England. It took a few years and much money to get picture legally legitimized but it was sure worth it. Billy the Kid wearing his cardigan sweater he was known for.

@WildWestExtravaganza 16 дней назад

Can you point me toward any source that shows the croquet photo was sold for millions of dollars?

@BBFtB 15 дней назад

You should stop reading clickbait Internet articles. The man who owns the photo, Randy Guijarro, did not sell it. They insured it for $5 million. It didn't sell because the provenance presented in that documentary couldn't hold up to history. The building history wasn't correct and the idea of the photo being taken because it was Charlie Bowdre's wedding- debunked. Randy didn't sell it and he's still trying to. That photo is not Billy Bonney or any other Regulator.

@MicahBell_1860 2 дня назад

But Jo-osh. We know that Henry was loved by everyone in Fort Sumner, so why is it not feasible that the whole town, including Pat, conspired to give Henry a new life by claiming that Pat killed him? In your own words, "Just because they said it happened, doesn't mean it was so!"

@WildWestExtravaganza 2 дня назад

Well, that assumption is a false one. What we know is that Billy was not universally loved at Fort Sumner. Area ranchers such as Manuel Brazil were actively working with Garrett, as were others. Beaver Smith and even Pete Maxwell are suspected of aiding Garrett.

@MicahBell_1860 2 дня назад

Okay, @WildWestExtravaganza (Josh), in a previous video, you did say that he was loved by all the senoritas in Fort Sumner, & so I took it that he was loved by everyone. My bad. For clarity, my comment was tounge in cheek, but I am still left wondering if indeed maybe everyone, including Pat, could have conspired to fake his death, so he could start afresh somewhere else. After all, it was only 200 people. & even if some hated him, they would have been rid of him? Although like you said, he was stoopid enough to return. To be honest, I love the conspiracies that keep us guessing. 😛Anyway, vaya con dios, Cowpoke

@rodharp972 17 дней назад

Josh want to ask you a question you said the Poe said to Pat you shot the wrong man After some rather forceful persuasion, indeed, we induced Maxwell to procure a light. He finally brought an old-fashioned tallow candle from his mother’s room at the far end of the building. He placed the candle on the window sill from the outside. This enabled us to get a view of the inside, where we saw a man lying stretched upon his back, dead, in the middle of the room, with a six-shooter lying at this right hand and a butcher knife at his left. Upon examining the body we found it to be that of Billy the Kid. But if you back and read what Poe said before that Poe said that he never seen Billy or Maxwell before so how would Poe know if Pat really killed Billy or someone else he can only go back what Pat or Maxwell say? Josh just playing devil advocate I don't think brushy is Billy but I do think he was there with or he knew someone who was there. I think Billy lived a long life never to be heard from again and that's what I think he really wanted.

@WildWestExtravaganza 16 дней назад

Correct, Poe and McKinney never had previously encountered the Kid. You gotta ask yourself what scenario is more probable. Scenario A) Garrett and Maxwell lied to the deputies. The dead man was not Billy the Kid but Garrett couldn’t afford to let the news spread that he had once again shot the wrong man so he silently conspired with Maxwell to trick the deputies. The other residents of Fort Sumner went along with it…all 200 of them. Their ruse was so successful that they not only convinced the deputies, but also the coroner’s jury and the entirety of the New Mexico Territorial government. Also Billy the Kid finally took the hint and never again resurfaced. Or scenario B) Deputies Poe and McKinney used their deductive reasoning, coupled with the reaction from locals and identifying information on the dead man’s body, that he was Billy the Kid.
