I do have one error in this video that I wanted to point out. When talking about Billy the Kid my mind slipped and I said Johnson County War which is incorrect. He was involved in the Lincoln County War which was really famous because of him and the regulators. The Johnson County War was in Wyoming and something that Tom Horn was involved in. I'm sorry for the error and the confusion.

I think that Garrett got Billy that night. There were other witnesses and I get we don't have a photo but we also don't have photos of a few of the outlaws I discussed in the video. But they were hanged. Garrett also killed Tom and no one ever really discusses letting him go as well. I think history has him killed in Ft Sumner but the location of the grave within that cemetery is a whole other story.

I honestly cannot believe an 8-year-old boy, Jim Miller, deliberately murdering two grandparents. Great video Rhetty. So many violent criminals considering the population numbers of that time! It is surreal how much has changed regarding executions of murderers, armed robbers, cattle rustlers and lynchings in 150 years and less. And you would think that violent criminals would have been deterred by rampant and quickly carried out capital punishment!

It's difficult to say what really happened with Jim. He could have been far worse than we will ever know but he was certainly a wolf in sheep's linen. His friends and relatives were all bad men. You're right about the executions changing. As we look at these public hangings it seems barbaric now because we aren't accustomed to it. Didn't seem to be any shortage of criminals in this era which is much like today really. Thank you for watching and commenting.

Jim Miller's wife was related to the Clemmons family who were the cousins of John Wesley Hardin so if everything is to be believed that her husband killed 51 men like he said and her cousins Hardin is believed to have killed upwards of 45 men let that sink in for a minute that's almost a hundred men between two people Jim Miller is also believed to have killed Sheriff Pat Garrett now others say it was somebody else I believe it was Jim Jim Miller psychopath and probably one of the worst people who ever lived

Another great video Rhetty. Also I don't know if he considered an outlaw but at the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral as it's known. Frank McLaury supposedly said after Virgil Earp said to throw up their hands I want your guns, he said we will before reaching for his pistol. I used the word supposedly because some claimed that he wasn't armed and some say he was.

You're right about the supposedly. It is difficult to decider fact from fiction and especially on that event. There were two town newspapers that reported the event very differently. Since Earp lived the longest then we know which one remained the most popular version. Thank you for watching my friend!

Another great video Rhetty. Have you considered doing one, more indepth about Sam Bass? He was basically a horse racer/farmer turned outlaw. Was Black Jack Ketchum also a heavy man? There is one story of another outlaw who was hanged but his weight caused his head to be torn from his body. Gruesome. Maybe that's Black Jack.

Blackjack had gained some weight in jail before his hanging. That is thought to be one of the factors of his decapitation. But in photos he doesn’t look overly large.

Thomas “Blackjack” Ketchum was a cousin to my great grandmother. He and his brother Sam were not the nicest of people. It was a day of fun for the townspeople of Clayton, NM, when Blackjack was hung. My dad to me to Clayton back in the late 1980’s. While at the Eclund Hotel, my dad mentioned being related to Blackjack and we were instantly treated as celebrities LOL! We went to see where he was buried. At the time he was buried he was laid to rest just outside the cemetery as to not badly influence the fine people inside the gates😂
