I read so many books but everything you need to know is just jammed packed in this podcast interview. Brett Hall is a legend. I second those comments. Brett has probably done more detailed research than anyone and in this interview he mentions several things I never knew about before. This is a must listen.

I advice everyone to also check out Brett Halls youtube channel. The latest upload there is from yesterday and in it Brett debunks the "james gangmember claim" and also explains about the so called "neo-historians" and their practice. youtu.be/lQYrXql6dCc

I checked out his YouTube clips today. So good! I'm still buzzing with excitement from listening to his interview last night. He said he is active on the forums. This forum being the best Billy forum, He must be reading these comments. I reckon every single living Billy the kid author is checking out this forum secretly under a guest account or posting comments under an alias name.

He brought of some pretty compelling arguments that were not available by published books. In other words the theory that Brushy read all of his accounts vs actually being there. Be interested to hear your counter to those claims?

leeb, I have not read the book. Since Brett has probably done more detailed research than anyone, I feel sure Brett emphasized the fact that no credible records have been discovered that substantiate Brushy's claim that his parents were J H "Wild Henry" Roberts and Sarah Ferguson; that he had a half-brother James; and a cousin, Ollie. Brett must have read census, cemetery, and death records that prove Brushy's cousin, Martha Heath, was really Martha Vada Roberts Heath, the half-sister of Oliver P Roberts.

I thought Brushy claimed his mother was Mary Adeline Dunn? You are correct. Brushy said his mother was Mary Adline Dunn, who was the first wife of J H Roberts. He said Elizabeth Ferguson was the second wife of J. H Roberts. Sarah Elizabeth Roberts was the mother of Oliver P Roberts.
