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.

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.

compelling and to the point

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.

Great read

I absolutely love this book, I have always believed he wasn’t killed by Garrett, this book helps to confirm that, thank you to the author.

Loved the book! Performance is awesome and the kid lives on. The way in which Bushy Bill tells his story is extremely convincing and compelling. Reading the stories from many different authors with many different objectives about Billy the Kid-I found this story to be most believable and most enjoyable.

The way he talks he’s pretty darn convincing!

It reads like formula fiction. Not enough credible authenticity. Any old man can spin a yarn. It needs stuff like DNA and finger print technology to sell this story. Billy had his day. I find it hard to believe he did all the thing credited to his legend in all the books in print. One should keep in mind he was a thief and a murderer and could have chosen an honest life. Was Billy the only kid in America that grew up without the advantages of a happy family life? It is truly hard to believe he had the time to do all those things in the very short life he lived, unless of course he lived to be 90 some years old. The story did not convert me into a believer. Just not enough enough evidence to withstand even a moderate amount of scrutiny.

Fiction?
