The grave marker in the Masonic cemetery is not where Patt Garrett was originally buried. He was buried a short distance east of there, near a railroad. My brother and me were exploring the bushes and mesquite trees along the sides of the tracks, looking for old bottles. While digging around, we found his actual grave and marker. It was completely overgrown with brush. We also found 5 or 6 other Graves. This was in 1962. It was probably around 40 years or so later that his remains were moved to this location. I'm 74 now.

Well, that was definitely a 'sidetrack' adventure. That was way out there. I wonder how anyone could make a living raising any kind of livestock in that range. ETA: As Steve says, Garrett's ranch is actually up in Dog Canyon, east of the murder site by a long ways. A fair amount of water up there, and, as Mark Twain said, "Whiskey is for drinking. Water's for fighting over." I got to researching a bit because I have a recording by the late folksinger Utah Phillips about Dog Canyon and murder over water and livestock, which, not surprisingly, involved Pat Garrett and a shootout with a locally prominent rancher, who was acquitted of the murder of another deputy. Wild times. Thanks for the video, Steve. You're one of my favorite history teachers!

Thanks Steve - another great one. A few years ago I worked over the pass at White Sands Missile Range, so drove the powerline trail to his monument, and also visited the cemetery. Appreciate you taking us on these adventures. In Las Cruces for curiosities there’s the world’s largest chili pepper, and on I-10 just west of town a huge roadrunner monument. When you get up close to it and see how it’s made, it’s pretty remarkable…or strange…or both.

Another little appreciated fact - the site of the 1947 Roswell UFO incident was on W.W. "Mac" Brazel's ranch. Mac was Wayne's nephew. The ranch was at one time owned by Pat Garrett. Also, Oliver Lee and Albert Fountain is an interesting bit of history in the area. Pat Garrett was involved in that one too.

As Archaeologists for Human Systems Research in the 90s we spent time on WSMR looking at some of the properties Garrett owned and also looking for clues regarding other deaths related to many fraudulent land deals, such as AJ Fountain and his son's disappearance. One clue related that their bodies had been put in a horse corral owned by Lee and were pounded to dust, we found nothing unsurprisingly.

@@panchopistola8298 Once word got out that he killed Billy the Kid in the manner he did, he gained the reputation as a "bushwacker", which is something you didn't want. He was shunned by a lot of people after that. It explains why nobody kicked up much of a fuss when he died. I mean, imagine going into a sheriff's office and confessing to a murder and the sheriff's like "oh yeah? Go home". Such was Garrett's low reputation

They will spear right through the bottom of a cowboy boot, as well as make your truck tires like like porcupines and flatten them. So you have to put super tough tires on your truck which are higher priced.

Between games I put a for sale sign on his sheriff's car and to see Billy the Kid as the salesman. The Sheriff's wife thought it was funny. The Sheriff a few days later, no so much. I had a great laugh! Thanks for the great adventures!

Surprised by his remark I said how can that be and he said Garrett was a big time rustler of cattle in the region. He ran most of the stolen cattle across the border into Mexico.

My wife, my youngest daughter, and I went out that way about 2 or 3 years ago...before the "Friends of Pat Garrett" put up that newer marker. We drove out to the site on that dirt road along the high school. When my wife saw that hill behind the murder site, so said there was no way we were going to drive up there. My youngest daughter and I are big history buffs, so it was pretty cool to see. While doing a bit of research on what and where it happened, I read that the original stone marker with the cross on it was put there by Pat Garrett's son. After a little bit of exploring, we headed off to Hatch for some chilis!

Thank you Steve. Billy the Kid has always interested me. I had a good friend who used to live in Ruidoso New Mexico and I went to Lincoln once to see the town. The Lincoln County war was like Kmart fighting Walmart. The Dolans had a store and were Irish and the Tunstalls opened a new store basically across the street and they were English. So there were many reasons for the hatred. All Billy did was kill the people who killed his boss and killed a very corrupted sheriff who was in on the murder of Tunstall. The kind of loyal employee any company would like to have. But being in the area I also had to go to Fort Sumner to see Billy the Kids grave. I guess they're not to sure if this is real grave because the Rio Grande has flooded this area a lot. But what I enjoyed was the steel cage built around the grave to keep people from stealing the grave stone. I guess it has come up missing a few times. It also would be a good story. Also that desert looks exactly like desert I grew up in here in Nevada.

Great video. Continuing along with Billy the Kid theme, how about a video about the Lincoln County War? That would go well with this video. Thanks, Steve.

I had plans on doing something related to it on this trip, but the weather forecast didn't work out in my favor. I plan on heading to that area later in the year though.

The FIX was in !!! I've always disliked Garrett but he was probably no better or worse than most people. He was elected sheriff of Lincoln County specifically to Murder ole Wm. H. Bonney. He was a specialist at ambush killings. He knew he would probably lose a gunfight with BTK and he always said that he meant to shoot BTK on sight. Research leads me to believe that Garrett was in the way of powerful people around Las Cruces. He wanted to sell his ranch but the presence of the goats on the property made it difficult to find someone to buy the ranch. Brazell probably was assured by those in power that he would never be found guilty for sending Garrett to hell (my speculation of course). The antagonism over the goats was just a issue to use. It's possible that someone like Jim (Killer) Miller may have played his part. RIP Pat

... I recently read a very well researched post regarding Jim Killer Miller and his Fort Worth connection, the website is called "Hometown by Handlebar", the post is titled "Death wore a long black coat", it will lead you to another post regarding Pat Garrett and his Fort Worth connection, very cool history... ... Like Nina Todd told me when I first moved to North Texas "Anybody who is anybody has been to Fort Worth, if you ain't been through the Fort maybe you ain't as important as you think you are"... ... Or "Bless your heart"...

“It seems that he has more friends now than in 1908.” 😂😂😂 Friends of Pat Garrett, who made that up? He never gave the Kid no chance neither

Thanks for the video! For 12 years, I lived about a mile from the murder site, but I never went to check it out. It's not too late though as I visit Las Cruces frequently. I can't blame Pat Garrett at all for moving from Texas back to New Mexico.

The sight of such wide open western landscape and historic story inspires many a wanna be cowboy to venture forth into your factual narrative of recent occurances in order to just walk about the landscape while soaking up the sun under the dry bluebird sky .
