The Truth FINALLY Revealed: Billy the Kid Debunked

Video Description

There is a lot of misinformation about Billy the Kid's death. Consider this your comprehensive guide to cut through the noise and determine fact from fiction. Thank you to all of the historians whose research I rely upon. On the night of July 14th, 1881, Sheriff Pat Garrett gunned down Billy the Kid. Or did he? Why is there still so much confusion surrounding the alleged death of William H. Bonney? Is it true that Pat Garrett’s deputies said that he killed the wrong man? Why did Sheriff Garrett bury the body without letting anyone see it? What was he trying to hide? And why was there no photograph taken? If Garrett did kill the Kid, why didn’t he receive the reward? And while we’re asking questions, who was this Billy Barlow character? What’s that all about? And who was Brushy Bill Roberts? Did Brushy have all the same scars as Billy the Kid? And wasn’t there a photo comparison study conducted by the FBI that showed Brushy and Billy were a 93% match? We will discuss all this and more as we finally clear up a few misconceptions concerning one of the greatest history hoaxes of all time! 1:15 – Did Pat Garrett receive the bounty? 8:13 – Did Pat Garrett’s deputy say that he shot the wrong man? 10.33 – Did Garrett bury the body before anyone could see it? 19:15 – Why was there no photograph? 22:39 – Did Billy the Kid have a beard?
