Alias Billy the Kid

De: C. L. Sonnichsen, William Morrison

Narrado por: Jack Chekijian

Was Billy the Kid really shot to death by Sheriff Pat Garrett on a July night in 1881? At the midpoint of the last century, an old man comes forth seeking a pardon for crimes committed. He says that he wants to die a free man - and that he is Billy the Kid. The incident leads to this examination of new facts, new interpretations, and new contradictions. It is the story of "Brushy" Bill Roberts, a man who laid claim to a legend. Originally published in 1955 by University of New Mexico Press.

compelling and to the point

This is a compelling collection of evidence that Brushy Bill Roberts was in fact William H Bonney AKA Billy The Kid. The affidavits from those who knew Billy The Kid was the best evidence, along with a memory of things not well known.

Brushy Bill Roberts was either Billy The Kid or someone who rode with him and was present at many important and mundane times during his life.

Whether you believe Brushy Bill was Billy The Kid or not, this is a worthwhile listen.

Great read

Great book there’s is more evidence he was Billy the kid than he wasn’t.I was disappointed the story of the old lawman in 1945 that called him out in Hico as Billy Bonnet wasn’t included.
