If I was up for trial for a heinous crime I would definitely want this man.. to be my lawyer enough said!... great job fact or fiction is separated he has definitely put in the effort and did his homework.. more resources then all of us put together ...93% would hold water in a rusted bucket. And if you dont know the percentage I'm speaking of you have not listened to this man.

Mr Morrison said he asked Brushy Bill if he could see the scars. Bill said yes, and all those bullet wounds and knife woods matched up the exact same ones Billy the kid had. I"m convinced they are one and the same man.

These videos are so awesome.

It’s a great possibility that Roberts really was the kid. I’ve been on the fence for some time but I’m believing more strongly that he was. Sadly, without the ability to go back in time, we may never know the truth 100%. If he was, then the best service that can be done for his life and memory is to prove it beyond as much of a doubt as possible. You and a handful of others are doing him this honor by your thorough research and debunking the other side of it. Things like this are what make my hopes become more of a reality. Very well done

Thanks for the video. I was one of the skeptics of Brushy Bill until I did my research. The interview of Ola Everhard was the most compelling. Recently visited Ft. Sumner on a motorcycle trip. Regret that I did not make it to Lincoln. Visited the fake grave at Ft. Sumner and hung a bandana on Charles Goodnights gravesite. Planning a ride to Weatherford, Granbury, Hamilton and Hico to visit the graves of Oliver Loving, Bose Ikard, Jesse James, and Billy the Kid. Put a pebble on John Chisum's headstone years ago.

Brett, I sincerely appreciate your diligent research, and am looking forward to your upcoming videos..

[@MegaVinz77]

Big thanks from the Netherlands for all the research you are doing! While still in doubt, your videos do make Brushy Bill's claim sound legit.

[@robertadkins92]

All will be revealed. Really enjoying this series!

Some people dig others stay at the surface and give answers before hearing the questions. Good stuff brother. We're not dealing with the sharpest tools we're dealing with alot of man child's. They will read or hear lies and hold on for their dear lives and never let go even if they're proven wrong.

[@elenadarrigo2528]

That’s cool how y’all are doing more in detail of his story.

[@mmaoutsiders9904]

I’m waiting for more of these videos. I’ve watched them all. I’m hoping to see a detailed account of what brushy was doing for those 70 years, and the proof behind it

[@wildestcowboy2668]

Hey mane da brotha did a good job and this video dope AF mane

[@cutterdoschewy2479]

I love watching your videos, great research too!

[@MajDogMeat]

Excellent work.

[@kathyjaneburke2798]

We'll researched, I just subscribed!

[@chrisclausen5447]

These series are the best ones on Billy. I grew up on Norway in the 80’s hearing about his story when I first heard Bob Dylans knocking on heavens door

[@bobbycagle2506]

Great research Brett. Do they have the recordings of the interviews with Brushy Bill available for the public to hear? It would be really interesting to listen to them. I bet he was a really interesting man! Can you imagine all the stories the world has missed out on. Anyway, thank you for the videos!!

[@janewolfe6699]

Thanks for all the research you are doing. One question I've had and haven't been able to find anything on the subject, is what happened to Billy's six shooter after Garrett supposedly killed him? I imagine it would have been very valuable back then and more so now. Garrett kept Olinger's shotgun so he apparently knew the value of historical guns.

[@Frawstplay]

Smart idea to break it down into individual subjects and make very informative videos for each. Also great job on showing where you are getting the information from. Do you know how many videos you intend on making about Brushy?

[@christopherhines2718]

the photo of brushy bill that is Billy the kid,no doubt in my mind.
