Just so everyone knows I created a Brushy Bill Facebook page, being that the only Brushy Bill page was from a society that sets out to discredit Brushy. I figure why not have a 'pro-Kid' page out there to even things up? Anyways feel free to join, share opinions, pictures, etc. www.facebook.com/AliasBillyTheKid

Thank you. It's a bit hard in some cases--- being that I don't own a single book on Brushy, so I have to keep going to 'Google Books' to read transcripts of works by W.C. Jameson and others on the case. Many of the photographs, links, etc. have come from various sites rather than from a personal collection. I try and not be too biased in my own personal judgements--- as I consider the page something of a research blog as well--- as I have found numerous newspapers talking about "The Texas Kid" (there were a couple of them) and I speculate which was Brushy Bill. Some I have eliminated off the bat because they were either too young, or they were of a different color. I uploaded some screenshots of census records (too) of Oliver Roberts, showing the differences in some of them, showing that Brushy had to of assumed the identity of him in 1910, and make some educated guesses along the way. All in all its a work in progress. Anyone wants to contribute to the page, feel free to add information, pictures, etc.
