I believe and your videos have cemented my beliefs. He was Billy

[@billybrown00]

I’ve always personally believed that Billy had his various lady friends write his letters for him.

[@alexbaker2615]

I think a lot of people including some historians are in the hip pockets of the Garrett family and family members of the Murphy-Dolen faction.

[@macho4x4warlock98]

Great research!

[@palnikolaiisnes7804]

As always great work, sir !

[@domstarkey7279]

even in the movie he had doc writing the letter

[@alexbaker2615]

Try reading Billy the Kid an autobiography by Daniel A. Edwards. The most evidents I've ever seen with sworn affidavits.

[@brockmitchell3989]

I appreciate this video. It confirms what I suspected fromnthe research I've done as well. Brushy was known to write and read, he just wasn't great at it was all. Thank you.

I really love the story of billy the kid and wish I knew for a fact where billy the kid died and his true story

[@kirklethbridge4477]

has there been a comparison of brushy bills hand writing and any or all of the alleged billy the kid writings? perhaps brushys would match on some or one, the the kids letters? thoughts?

[@jayceoneal]

Out of curiosity what would the people have to gain by dismissing Brushy Roberts?
