The REAL Jose Chavez y Chavez: Pal of Billy the Kid

One of the more memorable characters from Young Guns 1 and 2 was Chavez y Chavez, portrayed by the talented Lou Diamond Philips. And yes, Chavez was real! He was a constable in San Patricio and an ally of the Tunstall McSween faction during the Lincoln County War. Jose was a full participant in the troubles and was present during the Battle of Lincoln, making a getaway from the burning McSween home alongside Billy the Kid. But who was Jose Chavez y Chavez really? Was he a Navajo as popularly believed? And how did he become a hired assassin? Also discussed in this episode is Chavez’s encounter with Bob Ford and the other Regulators and friends of Billy the Kid, guys like Henry Newton Brown, George and Frank Coe, Ab Saunders, John Middleton, Billy Wilson, Tom Pickett, and more! I also give my opinion on what really happened there at Fort Sumner on the night of Billy’s alleged death and discuss The Kid’s “body count”. #wildwest #history #americanoldwestfacts #billythekid

Extravaganza time! Good on you brother for going into the "side" characters to the western heavy hitters. Many historical tellings leave these contributors to the wayside, or worse attribute their deeds to others that fit the media portrayal of the story. Keep the history alive my friend!

Maybe think about doing an episode on Dick Liddil. Pretty interesting fellow. If you choose to, I have a side note to add. It seems, after killing Jessy & Franks cousin, he went and hid out in a little town called Beaver (I know, you can't make this stuff up) on the White River, just a stones throw south of the Missouri / Arkansas line, a short distance north of Eureka Springs. There was a $5,000 bounty on his head, but no one there turned him in because folks around those parts were so poor, they didn't believe that much money actually existed. Have no idea if this story is true, but all the old timers in western Carrol County, Arkansas swear by it.

That "Interest has never left me, and I'm certain it never will. BTW: My compliments on your delivery, sense of humor and turn of phrase, Josh

[@WildWestExtravaganza]

Thank you

[@dukecraig2402]

I've never read or heard a single thing about Billy that would suggest he was a psychopath or "cold blooded" by any stretch of the imagination, he wasn't the kind that robbed citizens, stagecoach's, banks or anything like that, the only known crimes outside of what happened in a range war, if you can call the events that happened in them crimes, weren't anymore than some modern day teenage equivalent of siphoning gas. Billy was just some kid making the best of a bad situation he was in, the people he stood up against were the kind of scumbags that swindled people out of their life savings through dirty real estate deals, preying on people who'd come west, often from other countries, just trying to find a better life only to be swindled by a bunch of corrupt hucksters who had the law and politics in their pockets, along with the newspapers which means you can control what the general population thinks. I also don't believe he was even 21 when he was killed, more than one source who knew him personally would have put his age at 19 when he was killed, the problem with the belief that he was 21 is that comes from Pat Garrett's book and he'd be the first one to want people to believe that he killed a 21 year old as opposed to a teenager. Modern day fact checkers have gone to the church that Garrett's coauthor of the book claimed he went to in NY to confirm Billy's birth date and not only do they not have any record of his birth they also don't have any record of Garrett's coauthor ever coming and looking it up, several first hand accounts from people that Billy was in school with around the age of 12 would have made Billy 19 when he was killed.

[@WildWestExtravaganza]

I partially agree. A lot of people who knew Billy thought he was about a year younger than stated in Garrett's book and there is no proof, as of yet, that the Kid was born in New York. He likely was just 20 at the time of his death. As far as a psycho, no...I don't think he was a psycho. I also don't think he was just some kid caught up in a bad situation. Billy was a career thief, even before entering Lincoln County and took part in murder, including the murder of a Sheriff. That ain't exactly syphoning gas. After everyone else left the Territory, he stayed and continued to steal. Much like Jake in Lonesome Dove, Billy took his leaving a little too slow.

[@dukecraig2402]

@@WildWestExtravaganza The killing you're talking about was self defense, that's well known, everyone who was a witness to it said that. And it's real convenient the Sheriff you bring up without talking about him, he's one of the people who was part of the aforementioned corrupt ring and his crew was part and partial to Tunstall's murder, you yourself have pointed out in how many bios of these old west characters that one day someone's an outlaw and the next a lawman, but then to demonize Billy you want to put it that "he was part of killing a "Sheriff". Obviously you've never been in the situation Billy was, I have, I'm from an area that's so blatantly corrupt it's sickening, my best friend was murdered by his girlfriend when she shot him in the back of his head, his 19 year old daughter and myself watched him lay in a hospital bed for 2 months with half a head dying the most horrible death you could imagine, then we experienced something even worse, her getting off for it. See my idiot friend had put that trash girlfriend of his in his will, she was to get half of a life insurance policy and home equity money that equalled $70,000 for her but when you murder someone you're not supposed to be allowed to benefit from their death, so her share should go to his daughter by default. Enter our blatantly corrupt county government, her defense attorneys father who owns the law firm controls county politics, he's the chair of the democratic party in a county where every single political position has been held by a Democrat for 100+ years, and his uncle was the judge. The son had just graduated law school and passed his BAR exam and was in need of having a revenue stream start flowing, by signing her interests in my friends will over to him that assured she'd get off, and here's where the corrupt local newspaper controlled by the corrupt forces comes into play, the jury forman works for the newspaper, a newspaper that it's common knowledge is beholden to that lawfirm because it's their advertising money that keeps them in payroll. Her guilt was so obvious and her defense was so silly that a young court bailiff who hasn't been around long enough to understand our county's goings-on actually told my friends daughter one day during the trial "I see these trials all the time and don't worry, there's no way she's getting off", I explained to my friends daughter and his family that that girl was too young and inexperienced with our county and it's shenanigans to know what was going on and that they need to start calling the state attorneys office and start barking about what's going on with this trial and the things like someone being on the jury that was highly inappropriate being on it from having business ties with the defenses firm, but no one would listen, everyone thought it was going to be a slam dunk guilty verdict, which is exactly what they wanted them to think, until it was too late. In a nutshell they stole $70,000 dollars off a 19 year old girl whose father was murdered, and did it by letting his murderer go free, oh and of course the newspaper they control put a real good spin on thing's, just like the newspapers put a good spin on the Lincoln County Wars. The day after the verdict my friends family, every single one of them, called me up one at a time and apologized for not listening to me and all ask me "What do we do next?", and I had to explain to every one of them that I tried warning them that once the verdict came in there's nothing that can be done, it's too late now. Every one of us has had to live with the fact that that woman walks around our town a free person, and that my friends family literally paid for that, in every way you can pay for something. Billy stayed in Lincoln County because where else was he supposed to go? He was a kid when all that happened to him and if he'd have been thinking about himself he'd have left, but he felt like he wanted to straighten out Lincoln County, I know he did because I know exactly where his head was, and his "thieving" that you accuse him of continuing doing, was never against anyone that wasn't a part of that corrupt system, even after the trouble started Billy never stole from anyone who wasn't a part of that corrupt power base, he never did a thing to innocent people. Yea, he was just a kid that was in a bad situation, and after what my friends family and I went through a hero for taking the fight right to the front door of a corrupt system.
