Here is a link to my video where I prove Brushy Bill Roberts wasn't illiterate.

For the record I’ve always found it suspicious how quickly pat buried Billy. Common in those days to take a picture with an outlaw you killed in the line of duty

I will add this as well, I don't think Pat Garrett fired a shot that night! I think it was Kip McKinney who accidentally shot the wrong man on the front Porch of Pete Maxwells house.

Great information. Thank you for posting.

[@ytherenounicorns5077]

Brilliant, hope you make more videos on this topic. Subbed.

[@clyde38]

Brett, I have to hand it to you, you have more patience than I do dealing with these same questions over and over again. If I had a dollar for every time someone said to me "well, he could not speak Spanish or he was ilitterate" I would be a millionaire by now.

Brushy Bill Roberts spoke fluently Spanish ,, he also lived and worked in Juarez Mexico and had a family as well .. My great grandfather. never said that he was Billy the kid due to the fact that he immigrated to El Paso Texas in 1910 ,, but does remember Bill brushing claiming to be Billy the kid many years later ,, It’s definitely a mystery

The ears alone give him away

My ol papa said brushy bill was crazy as hell. btw I knew Bob Hefner well. He was hook line and sinker all in on ol brushy. Great folk lore and money maker via tourist back home in Hico.

Cool

I see a very striking resemblance to William h Bonnie in that picture right there especially with the shoulders in the arms slung low with the shoulders drooping down like they do. Only I thought William h Bonnie was a little shorter than that

The 2 main things that make me believe completely that Brushy Bill was in fact Billy the kid. 1) There are no death photos of the most notorious outlaw (Billy the Kid) of that time and possibly ever, however he was supposedly killed and buried pretty much immediately. 2) Brushy Bill gained absolutely nothing from reviling that he was Billy kid, nothing. Lincoln Nebraska will forever object to Brushy Bill’s story simply due to tourism.

When it came to the events of the night of July 14, 1881, Brushy said that a man named Billy Barlow was killed by Pat Garrett. Barlow, he said, was partially Mexican, had a beard, looked like the Kid, was a little younger than the Kid, and was possibly related to the Clements family, the cousins of John Wesley Hardin. Brushy also said that he doubted that Billy Barlow was the man's real name. After Barlow was killed, Brushy continued, he fled Fort Sumner. After fleeing Sumner, his story went, he lived in Mexico with a tribe of Yaqui Indians for two years; returned to the U.S. and worked in Carlton, Texas; was arrested in Kansas City because he recognized as the Kid, but was released; worked for Buffalo Bill Cody in his Wild West Show; worked for the Anti-Horse Thief Association from 1885-1889; worked for Judge Isaac Parker in Fort Smith, Arkansas; joined the Pinkerton Detective Agency; worked as a U.S. Marshal investigating train robberies; joined the Rough Riders and went to Cuba; briefly operated his own Wild West Show; fought for Villa and Carranza in the Mexican Revolution; worked as a plainclothes policeman in Gladewater, Texas; married four times; and used a dozen aliases

I used to speak Spanish 25 years ago when I was married to a Peruvian. But after 25 years I’ve forgotten most of it. If you don’t use it you lose it.. that’s the truth.

[@sarahgraves4601]

MY GREAT UNCLE WAS FRIENDS WITH BILLY THE KID BILLY LIVED TO BE 91

[@Jeremy-qb9ej]

In my opinion,, it don't take a rocket scientist to figure out he was the real billy the kid.... After everything blew over and the world thought he was killed in fact he wasn't , He got a second chance in life and lived low key..... GOOD FOR YOU BILLY!! He deserved it....

My Grandfather, ME being 57 told me stories all the time of those days. I was born and raised in San Bernardino county. Grandpa told me lote od stories as I was scared of the dark. He told me stories to put me to sleep as we shared the same room. Not going into detail, Pat Garrett did not kill Billiy
