Billy the Kid, the Truths and Lies of the Wild West.

Billy the Kid and Myths of the Wild West.
Thanks to the invent of Motion Pictures, those last iconic figures of the Wild West would pass into history, but would remain rooted in the imagination of Americans.
Outlaws are like quicksilver...as elusive as smoke. The truth is, there were no Black hats, no white hats, but a whole bunch of grey hats.

Wallis’ respect for context is so much appreciated. Many authors use it as a backdrop to a story, but he uses it as a filter through which to view the story. Elite storytelling is the result. Thanks all.

Great story telling.

Wow, who can top Michael Wallis, 3 time Pulitzer Prize nominee, and one of America's greatest story tellers, I could listen to him all day, OK, even at night around the perpetual western campfire, with or without the traditional lubrication of traditional cowboy whiskey. No doubt about it, this video is another superb record of Wallis' contribution to western history.

I think many of us today, no matter what we like to think about ourselves, in truth wear a hat that is closer to grey than to white or black. I enjoyed this presentation by Mr. Wallis, and hat's off to Hillsdale College for hosting him on this topic.

Michael Wallis does a wonderful job.

I think Billy was the most interesting character in the West, he was much different than WE or James',,, He did not have a family.

The Wild West echoed itself in the 1930s, with characters such as John Dillinger fueled by newspapers' glamorization and embellishment.
