内容简介
Everyone knows that William Bonney, alias Billy the Kid, was killed by Pat Garrett around midnight on July 14, 1881 at Fort Sumner, NM. Or, was he?
Authors like William V. Morrison, W. C. Jameson, William A. Tunstill, Jannay P. Valdez, Robert E. Hefner, and Brett L. Hall wrote that Billy the Kid escaped death that night and died an old man by the name of Brushy Bill Roberts in Hico, Texas in 1950. In fact, Brushy Bill is still a tourist attraction and a celebrity in Hico. The Chamber Of Commerce of Hico runs a museum and displays a statue of Billy, and celebrate Billy the Kid Days every year. Well, someone was eventually going to find the truth about Brushy. Jim has uncovered undeniable proof that Brushy Bill was just another old man seeking fame.
On the other hand, author, Helen Airy, wrote about a man by the name of John Miller whose family claimed that he was Billy the Kid. Jim, again, found significant proof that John Miller was not Billy the Kid.
But, who was William Bonney, alias Billy the Kid? Most authors and historians agree that his real name was Henry McCarty. Jim does not necessarily agree and provides some evidence that might eventually lead to the identification of the real Billy the Kid.
Whether you believe neither Brushy Bill or John Miller were Billy the Kid or not, Jim's book is very interesting to read. Jim not only provides proof against Brushy and Miller, but he also provides new information on Billy the Kid, Henry McCarty, and William Bonney, as well as, Buckshot Roberts and Johnny Ringo.
You've heard all of the so-called 'evidence' against Brushy Bill and John Miller, and now, you can see the real hard evidence. Buy the book and learn facts that were never disclosed before now.
