    As a Billy the Kid and Lincoln County War enthusiast, you certainly did your homework on the history. The war was not between white hats and black hats, it was very grey. Well done.

    I've been to Lincoln on several occasions, and you can even stay in the old Wortley hotel , which I did. there were deer running all around the town, . Definitely worth a visit. After reading two books by W.C. Jameson, Billy the kid, the lost interviews, and Billy the kid, beyond the grave , I'm convinced that it was another member of billly's gang that was killed at ft. sumner. Pat Garett was in A big hurry to bury the body, and he never collected the bounty on the kid. The books make A good case to establish, Billy lived until 1959 , and died in Hico TX.

    I’m not going to lie. I am proud to say that I am one of the few people, if not the only person, to have ever gotten kicked out of the Billy the Kid Museum. It was 1997, and I had just seen Young Guns 2 where they claim that Billy got away from Pat Garrett and took on the alias Brushy Bill Roberts. I argued that Pat Garrett let Billy go, and Billy went to Mexico and became Brushy Bill. The owners of the museum became so furious with me that they demanded that I leave the museum. Naturally, I don’t believe that Pat Garrett let Billy get away, but it sure was fun to be a conspiracy theorist for a minute. I didn’t think they would get so angry that I would get kicked out, tho. The people of Fort Sumner, New Mexico take Billy the Kid very, very seriously.

The museum fir Billy the Kid looks amazing. I wasn't aware that there was a deeper side to his life story. Thanks for sharing it with us! And happy travels!

    You actually made a fun/funny & interesting tour of Billy's old stumping grounds. Most people would (myself included) have just made a typical boring home video without all the comical drama. The ending is going the extra mile to try to entertain your audience. I was kind of wishing your "visitor" had been the Kid coming after you. But the space guy is appropriate for N.M.

    I've NEVER understood why people steal grave markers. For what? To tell everyone a cool story of how you stole it? Literally no one is going to think you're cool for robbing a grave no matter the person. Theres some things in life you just dont do, and grave robbing is one of them.

    You have to ask if Billy was just pardoned like most everyone else would he have gone straight and avoided any more run-ins with the law? His story would have ended with the Lincoln Co. wars and he might have just gone and been a rancher of some sort. Something to think about.
