The experts have faultless research skills. It's not that I don't trust their skill in finding the facts. I've just lost faith in the facts being the truth. My brain is really trying hard to accept Pat Garrett's story as the full truth but my gut instincts tell me otherwise.
My gut instincts tell me Brushy was the real deal so he gets my vote for number 1 expert on Billy the kid.
I didn't want Brushy to be the kid and I was originally a complete non believer.
I'm now team Brushy all the way and even if I'm wrong I'm gunna sink with the ship like a true captain.
I look forward to reading more "hearsay" and opinions because I find it all incredibly interesting.
Please file this post in the hearsay and opinions section of the forum.

Most facts come from testimony which can direct or indirect(hearsay)
Top of the range is a deposition (true or false) -Brushy Bill...next is an independent interview -equivalent to a recording (Paulita Maxwell & Two Moon)
next is a impatial written account(John Poe)-then there is a partial written account(Pat Garrett) next- family recolection(Kip McKinley & Chino Silva & the Anaya family descendants) -finally there is hearsay unaquainted with either main players or pivotal facts(maybe true-maybe not) The whole key board is at play here - the only person who attests directly to the entire life in detail of BTK - is Brushy Bill (despite his age)

One definition of claim - an assertion of the truth of something, typically one that is disputed or in doubt. One definition of hearsay - information received from other people that one cannot adequately substantiate; rumor. One legal definition of affidavit - An affidavit based on the knowledge of the affiant is accorded more weight than one based on information and belief. When admissible, affidavits are not conclusive evidence of the facts stated therein. Facts about Billy the Kid: He was identified as William Antrim, William McCarty, and the Kid when tried and convicted by the New Mexico Territorial Government (trial records) He was identified as Henry McCarty, a witness at the marriage of William Antrim and Catherine McCarty in Santa Fe (church records) He was identified as William Bonney in the coroners report He was identified as William Bonny in the 1880 census. |

I have a tintype of two cowboys. In my tintype the young man on the right is DEFINATELY the same guy in Bison Bill tintype. The same young man who is in the photo on this site that matched all his features 98%.
The other guy in my tintype could be Henry Brown or Billy's brother Joe. Not sure there. I have NO doubts though I have the very same young man in my tintype! Any assistance or input would be greatly appreciated!

Ritchie If you post the photo here you will get a response, otherwise no one will have nothing to say since we dont know what photo you are referring to. |
