- I'm a little long winded in this one but you are going to want to stay until the end (post-credits). For many years I was secretly in touch with the daughter of William V. Morrison who discovered Brushy Bill Roberts in Hico, TX and she guided me to secret archives and private collections that contained unpublished TRUTH about Brushy Bill Roberts. In this video I discuss the circumstances of the very first contact between Morrison and Brushy Bill and debunk a lot of the ridiculous arguments that attempt to discredit Brushy Bill's claim of being the one authentic Billy the Kid of legend. Also discussed is Jessie Evans/ Joe Hines, J. Frank Dalton who claimed to be Jesse James, and more. I hope you like it.
Thank you for coming forward, and thank you for writting the book! I have read it 3 times. Looking forward to your new evidence! Thanks again Dan!
Thank you!
And the governor was liable for Brushy's death from the sneak media circus he assaulted him with. The trauma likely destroyed what was left of his health leading to his death three weeks later.
Just watched your video and just received your book. BTW...as you so noted in your video, we may be distant cousins. My ggrandfather was Gaston Eggbert Edward's. You never know...lol. Anyway, I love history, I love your book and your videos and I'm a believer in the story of Brushy Bill. My father just passed in May at 93 yrs and 10 Mos of age. He did not look older than 60. He knew so much about his own life and told many stories before he died, but he would sometimes forget the names of important people in his life like General Milly and Strom Thurmond while telling a story. That is normal. Brushy Bill was the same in recounting his own life experiences. People should not use that to discredit him. I appreciate your content.
Thanks very much for your kind words Cousin Betty! :-)
Thank you Dan, fascinating, keep them coming

Good work Dan!! I really believe that Brushy Billy Roberts was the real life Billy the Kid thanks to your book Dan. On Billy I like history especially when it comes to the Wild West Frontier. I don't like lies all I care about is the truth and justice. Keep it up Dan. Find real truth, justice and real history for Brushy and justice for Morrison work on the Kid well done again Dan!!.
Thank you!
He was ola everhard knew billy since 7 years old she said brushy was billy go watch interview
Great video, Dan !
Thank you!
New subscriber here. I always thought/hoped that Brushy was Billy.
Thanks for subscribing! I have some BIG evidence coming very soon so I hope you stay tuned!
We LIVE 4 Ur Channel, Dan: Our Lives hinge on your every single revelation. We anxiously await Ur next big reveal🙏!!!
any face recognition expert clearly sees the similarities of the Kid pic vs Brushy pic..... no brainer. The Tunstill (sic?) interview with James' niece is gold.
Well done Dan!!!! You work and passion are appreciated very much!!!
I’m SO GLAD I FOUND THIS CHANNEL! I’ve been a believer ever since I became hooked watching Young Guns and then Young Guns 2 as a kid. I personally fully believe that Brushy was THE KID!! I can’t wait to see and hear what else you have to drop that “puts an end to the argument once & for all!” Imagine how IGNORANT those naysayers are gonna feel especially those who heard the story from Brushy and brushed it off only to find out years later that he wasn’t a “senile lying old man” but he was in fact BILLY THE KID!
Oh WOW, Daniel A Edwards!!! What a TREAT!!! To actually see & hear William V Morrison's daughter Barbara describing her personal account of Brushy removing his pants so that her dad could photograph Brushy's scars is SO COMPELLING!!! Big Wrists & ALL!!! I just can't wait 2 watch the next chapter!!!🎉
Barbara was an amazing woman and I miss her a lot. Funny, charming, smart. Just an awesome person. I have nothing but respect for her.
@@aliasbillythekid : William V Morrison certainly had Good Reason 2 bring his young daughter Barbara along with him, Daniel: Barbara recalled the entire experience as if it happened just yesterday! She said matter-of-factly that her father took photos of Brushy's Scars, as if it was a 'given,' that Photos would be snapped of Brushy's Scars, sans pants & all😳👀🥇‼️
Can ANYONE explain how this poor rural Cowboy with no Social Security number nor income, happened 2 accumulate just the right types of scars in just the right places, exactly coincidental 2 thee very same type of Scars that The Kid was purported 2 have accumulated😳👀??
Those Exact Right Scars in all the Exact Right Places Tell the Tale; Cold-Case Closed: Pat Murdered Billy Barlow. History was standing before Barbara & William V Morrison, and Morrison KNEW it; and Barbara was convinced too😳👀✅.
...and if those photographed scars aren't enough, then offer up to all those websites & Garrett true-believers Irreversible Evidence that Billy the Kid died on 27 Dec 1950, and not on the night of 14 Jul 1881.
William V Morrison tracking down Brushy among a bunch of Tumbleweeds in rural West Texas was No Accident, and Brushy had 2 be IMPRESSED by Morrison, enough to confide ALL to both He & Barbara.
...and further, in the same vein, Barbara had 2 be IMPRESSED with Daniel Edwards' investigative detail with equal measure, confiding ALL in such an humble, mild-mannered writer, SINCERE & FORTHRIGHT, in EVERY SINGLE WAY✅🥇🌎
"Where in the World 🌎 is Carmen San Diego?" ...Morrison Found Him✅ ...and Daniel Edwards Re-Found Him thru Barbara, revealing what all those rumors had been hinting at all these years: ONLY The Kid would've known that those handcuffs & leg irons hanging on display in the old Lincoln County Courthouse were NOT the ones that Gauss had split down the middle with his axe.
BTW Dan...another person's post reminded me of a News Article I read from years ago that said Billy was with a young fellow named Billy Taylor in the months right before the Ft Sumner event of 1881. Do you know about that?
Anyone ever read Bill "O'Reilly's book, Legend and Lies: The Real Wild West? Bill O"Reilly does indeed suggest that there is more evidence that supports that Brushy Bill was indeed Billy the Kid then not. There was also, a TV series on Fox News, and describes the supposed killing by Pat Garrett from Brushy Bill's POV. I haven't read the book yet(Plan to buy it soon, and read it). They also mentioned that Paulita Maxwell, Billy's Girlfriend, may have been pregnant with his child. But that was literally all that was said. Also, it may have been Paulita's own Brother that tipped Garrett off , to Billy's whereabouts! Was this ever talked about? Was Paulita being pregnant with Billy's child ever talked about? Did anyone ever see the Unsolved Mysteries segment in 1989, about Brushy Bill? Also, why do the Courts keep blocking the two graves from being exhumed?
Fantastic series and fantastic book, Dan! I have been researching this topic for nearly 20 years and just returned from a research trip to NM. I would love to connect if you don’t mind?
Thank you and absolutely. daniel@billythekidanautobiography.com
Great channel! I've always been intrigued by this subject. 6th generation Texan here. We were always taught by our parents (that were born before 1950) that The Kid was that old man.😊 I have a question though and i can't find the answer: exactly how tall was William V. Morrison? Thanks in advance.
Thank you! Morrison was pretty short. I think only about 5'2". I'll check my files on this.
Since Morrison was able to prove in a court of law that Joe Hines was someone else, is there a case/docket number/official court paperwork from the court in North Dakota showing this?
We dont have the details for Joe Hines unfortunately. I think Morrison protected his privacy. If you would have asked me months ago I would have said the source is Alias Billy the Kid but Morrison doesnt refer to Joe Hines explicitly as Jesse Evans. According to Morrison Hines revealed himself as a participant in the Lincoln County War which motivated him to seek out Roberts but we dont have any more details that were publicly shared. He does reference him in private correspondence, however. I was curious about your comment because I don't use that phrase in this video. I went back and checked and I did use it in the description for my book and that description hasn't changed since it was published over 9 years ago. The intention of that was to say that Hines had to prove his identity to inherit. Your question is phrased as though Morrison was trying to prove Hines was Evans. That is not the case. He wasn't trying to prove anything to the court, Morrison was representative of the court and the appointed probate investigator FOR the court, and Morrison was convinced Hines was Evans. Thus, Hines proved his identity to the court according to what Morrison shared with us in Alias. Not much is known about Evans. All those guys used aliases back then, Billy Wilson, etc. etc. etc. What is interesting to me is how would Ollie Roberts from Texas know this random old timer in Pensacola and how would both of them know all about the Lincoln County War and Billy the Kid.
Such a shame about morrison,,all he did was follow the facts...cheers dan👍👍🇦🇺
Have you ever talked to Brett hall hes been looking into this stuff for years I think he wrote a book on Billy the kid or brushy bill.i don't know if he had Ola Everhart papers or someone else who wrote a book about j frank Dalton aka jj
We corresponded once but have never spoken to him. I watched part of one of his videos for the first time a couple of weeks ago and thought he did a good job.
@@aliasbillythekidyou to should definitely collaborate. Between the two of y'all you could possibly show enough evidence to make the courts want to do DNA testing.
As in your book, and what I had learned years ago, Brushy Bill had all the same scars from knife and bullet wounds Billy had. I don't honestly know another human being, that would purposely get shot up and knifed just to claim they were Billy the kid. I truly believe Brushy Bill was Billy the kid. Billy survived because he listened all his life to his gut instinct and his quick thinking. Loved your book, I have read it again for the second time. Rest easy Billy, hope we meet on the other side.
Did anyone ever see and document all the scars that Billy did have to do comparison????
@@karenlynch8135 Yes, Morrison went and photographed and documented them. Its in the period newspapers that he did that. I have the affidavit he prepared for the coroner to sign I've been meaning to share.
@@karenlynch8135 If someone did, there's no photos of them that I've seen.
This story could be turned into the best movie ever imagined!
Emilio Esteves shares your sentiment, he wants to do 3 more movies based on Brushy Bills' life after 1881, currently in production-hell, Guns 3: Alias the Kid is in the making!
Were are the tape recordings. Would love to hear them.
They are privately owned. I'm still working on the logistics of getting copies made so we can hopefully listen to them.
That's the same question I had, it would be so cool to hear recordings of Billy the Kid himself telling stories about his life!
They should make a whole documentary around the recordings, with details on the history and maybe historical reenactments with actors
5:11 imagine actually being in the SAME ROOM LESS THAN 10FT AWAY FROM A MAN WHOS NAME THAT NOW IS LIKELY THE MOST KNOWN WILD WEST OUTLAW OF ALL TIME!!! The Kid was already famous then but his name has stood the test of time! I would likely be too overwhelming for him bc I’d wanna know ANYTHING & EVERYTHING he would say. I wouldn’t get bored and I wouldn’t talk but maybe a question here and there but I would just listen and enjoy!!
You know who looks related to Brushy Bill? Catherine Antrim!
You have my attention, sir...
This is an odd question Dan, but i wonder what ever happened to all Brushy's personal things? His wife was still alive when Brushy died, did she do away with Billy's personal things I wonder or did she give them to someone else for safe keeping. Have you ever looked into that?
I have. I know where some things are. Private hands and they don't want to come forward. Unfortunately I think Brushy destroyed some things because he knew they would be evidence if the meeting with the governor didn't go well and also I think Melinda Allison's kids took some stuff and probably sold it off.
@@aliasbillythekid why wouldn't they want to come forward? Especially if there is more proof of Brushy being Billy? Of which I truly believe he was one and the same.
@@blaze3884 I'm not speaking for them but imagine you had a family heirloom you cherished and didn't want to sell. What good would come of telling the world besides you would be mercilessly harassed by people wanting to see it, buy it, etc. etc. I think that's why but ultimately don't know.
@@aliasbillythekid I never said anything about selling what they have. Just showing it or relating about it because it would be considered historical.
@@blaze3884 I understand. Just throwing a scenario out there. My guess is they just don't want to be bothered by the public. Once its out there people come from all angles demanding attention and time.
Old Henry….great movie….
I been watching your videos. I want to believe! Who wouldn’t. Especially with young guns 3 possibly coming out soon and it cover the exploits of brushy bill. I got my doubts but love the story!
The good news is we can all enjoy the story without having to make a decision one way or the other. YG3 will be awesome by the way! Thanks for watching and your comment!
I have heard of this. When is it supposed to be coming out? Is the movie based on the book Alias Billy the Kid?
Your story is the only one that makes sense. I have read your book from cover to cover. Thank you
Thank you, Mr. Baker
Can you get a sample of the hair that's in the Lincoln museum for DNA?
Good idea but unfortunately there is no provenance on that hair. I'd love to see DNA done by a University or other credible group but unfortunately there are also some charlatans going around saying they are going to do a DNA study and I wouldn't trust them at all.
@@aliasbillythekid I have a personal interest here now ,it's a long story but if they could match my DNA to the hair in the museum it would probably prove your / brushy bills story.
I think brushy bill got killed some were and billy the kid took and used his name so he could live a normal life
You know a lot about Billy the Kid.
If you look at the pictures there is no way those are the same people. Who verified the original picture the (tin) ?
Respectfully, that's not the case at all. The original tintype of Billy the Kid has been authenticated for almost 100 years. We just completed a film with Emilio Estevez "Billy the Kid: The Silver City Photo" that discusses the authentication process for a new photo and includes a forensic facial recognition expert doing the analysis.
@@aliasbillythekid Does Emilio Estevez support the Billy the Kid/Brushy Bill story of them being one in the same?
If even brushes family says he’s not billy the kid that’s just bs right but yet you can sit there and sat pats family saying he didn’t shoot billy and think that’s credible come on you believe one and not the other that’s putting you in the same category as the ones not believing him just bcuZ his family says so or it don’t look like him
I think you missed the point which is that its not credible either way. "Heresay" is not admissable evidence. People throw around the argument that Brushy's "family" (one distant niece) said Oliver wasnt Billy (which we agree with because Oliver wasnt Brushy) but ignore that multiple relatives of Garrett, including his daughter said he didnt kill him. Brushy's wife, which certainly counts as family, did believe him. I think the way some use the line "his own family" is intellectually dishonest.
