Old Brushy was a colorful wannabe. He claimed having been Billy, a Rough Rider etc. etc. His list of claims is long, but his timeline does not fit. Morrison claimed Brushy had all the same scars that Billy had. The catch: Noone ever knew what scars Billy had! It's never been mentioned - Not even once! Brushy could not read and write, but Billy could and Billy spoke Spanish as well. No photo of dead Billy? No, the nearest photographer was in Albuquerque and Las Vegas (NM) and those were 3-5 days away from Fort Sumner. Imagine arriving there and no photographer around since he was out? It would have taken at least one week to get a photographer to Sumner and that's the fastest. By the way: Many locals saw Billy's dead body. They sat wake, washed him and dressed him before putting him in a coffin made in Sumner. Even after all these years none of these people have ever said it was not Billy. They mourned him! Forget Brushy being Billy. He was a funny old weirdo whom Morrison tried to push to make a dollar out of!!!
I'm not sure he died , my grandpa had the last name carr and billy used an alias w.h. carr so I might be his great great grandson , when I was a kid my front teeth were crooked like billies and my grandpa looked like Billy's half brother
@@HN1963 yep that’s correct, they don’t have any ability kids DNA or any of his relatives. His burial site was flooded and all the bodies in the graveyard washed out together and nobody knows who’s our who’s
@@VolkXue If you're referring to everything he did which a lot of folks say is impossible. I' not sure. I know a lot of people who have done more than he claimed including me. Perhaps even you HUH?
@@davidhall1840 side note, do you know everything Brushy claimed? lol if you think your life onpar with his claims you could name drop a lot of people and events right now..
You shouldn't be. You've been convinced of a falsehood, that photos of dead outlaws were common. They weren't. They were common in towns that had photographers, which Fort Sumner didn't. Pat Garrett would have had to have sent someone 2 and a half days to Las Vegas, NM to get the nearest photographer and then wait another 2 and a half days for the photographer to arrive with his equipment. Or he would have had to have taken Billy's rotting corpse the 2 and a half day trip to Las Vegas. All that just wasn't necessary. The entire town of Fort Sumner saw the Kid's body and verified that Garrett had killed him
Before I was rudely interrupted, I believe that Brushy Bill Roberts was BBR. Not the kid, I think that Garret killed the kid. But what I do have question with is, how the whole thing started. Garret left a capital punishment prisoner with deputies to find wood. I think the killing of the two deputies is on Garret. Also, I think if you can keep meat cool for a few days, you can keep a body cool. There could have been a photographer. If you take a town of about 200, there are artist, musicians, comedians in every crowd. I just think there were going to be na sayers and paperwork can be forged. Garret had put in a position that he had to tell the story right is my point.
Billy was right handed, Roberts left handed, Billy wrote letters to Governor Wallace, Roberts was functionally illiterate, plus Roberts looked nothing like Billy.
Billy the Kid wrote well, spoke fluent Spanish. Brushy Bill was illiterate, couldn't speak Spanish. Brushy Bill wasn't even old enough to be Billy the Kid ( as per family birth records).
If you do your homework you will find that roberts was not the kid . Hell his own family said that he was not billy the kid. Plus the kid wasn't from Texas. Also billy was born in New York in 1859 .
❤❤absolutely he was Billy the kid forensic files said 93# positive after all them years he knew stuff nobody could know about and he shot Bob Ollinger with 20 silver dimes and Mexican kids were picking them up behind the deputy s body chest blown out though lol hahaha yes he was William H Bonnie
😅 I know that Pat Garrett shot someone. But know proof he killed Billy the kid. My mother was in Albuquerque NM. When my dad was in the air force. She meet Pat Garrett sister and she said her brother shot somebody in the mountains of New Mexico but never brought back a body.

Pretty sure this is the most accurate historical reenactment on TH-cam. Well, one of the most entertaining at any rate!
Are there historically inaccurate moments, here? Yes. Is it still more accurate than Brushy Bill's claims? Also yes. Great video! Very enjoyable!
Another little fact, Billy the Kid was not left-handed. Look it up!
The photo is reversed. 👍
Zero chance this faker was Billy. His own family said so.

This was great!!! 🤠
they even found brushy Bill’s birth certificate in a Bible… he’s not the kid
As for Billy the Kid, as long as he was not behind you, you were pretty safe.
I'm not sure he died , my grandpa had the last name carr and billy used an alias w.h. carr so I might be his great great grandson , when I was a kid my front teeth were crooked like billies and my grandpa looked like Billy's half brother
You should do a DNA test, and definitely look into this.
Definitely, especially if you have Spanish blood. Billy likes the Senorita.@@dennishignite6676
@@dennishignite6676 And with what should the dna be compared????
@@HN1963 yep that’s correct, they don’t have any ability kids DNA or any of his relatives. His burial site was flooded and all the bodies in the graveyard washed out together and nobody knows who’s our who’s
Not a chance he was the Kid.
So you read Garrett's comic book and now you're an expert huh?

Thank you that was very interesting 👍
There's one problem with brushing built being Billie. The kid, they look nothin the same.
Simply because they were not the same person!
More than one problem.
Brushy Bill, the name says it all! There’s a Billy in that name
This story is false this brushy character was not Billy
No, he got killed in Ft. Sumner, this always happens with famous people, "they didn't really die" stuff.
Brushy couldn’t read…Billy could read and write beautifully. Morrison stated he couldn’t read…
Photos came back with 97pc probability
No they do not. They came back as No.

Brushy bill and Doc only lived 200 miles apart in texas
There's a fictional movie called Old Henry which has a very interesting take on this topic.
Billy was right handed, Roberts left handed, Billy wrote letters to Governor Wallace, Roberts was functionally illiterate, plus Roberts looked nothing like Billy.
Not this again…Billy the Kid died at the hands of Pat Garrett- he’s dead- so is Elvis
Billy the Kid wrote well, spoke fluent Spanish. Brushy Bill was illiterate, couldn't speak Spanish. Brushy Bill wasn't even old enough to be Billy the Kid ( as per family birth records).
Yes kin folks hico but he is in Kentucky 🤠 Georgia
If you do your homework you will find that roberts was not the kid . Hell his own family said that he was not billy the kid. Plus the kid wasn't from Texas. Also billy was born in New York in 1859 .
Here's the thing, now as then, cops lie, they lie incessantly. Pat Garrett was a cop. Questions?
And his real name was Henry McCarty.
If he was billy why does his grave stone not say henry mcarty
Check the DNA
How????
Brushy Bill WAS NOT BILLY THE KID
Yeah, he was.
