Fascinating video. Thanks Jordan for taking us along❣️I remember when I was 6 yrs old my uncle had a book on Billy the Kid in his library. The first words I remember reading from the page was about his piercing gray eyes. That’s when my uncle snatched the book from me and said I was too young to be reading that book. Lol. I wonder if it was written by Pat Garrett. It was the same color as the book shown on the video. We all lived in the same house at the time. Fond memories still. My uncle wanted me to be a singer. He was a pretty cool guy but my father was very strict in his ways and we ended up moving to our own house. I always wondered what would have happened if my uncle had more of a say in regards to my career path. Still I was able to find a soulmate for life at 18 yrs old and still we’re together having enjoyed life enough to have no regrets & paying it forward whenever we can with others along the way. Thanks for sharing your life Jordan with all of us. ❤️🙏🏻

Billy the Kid had blue eyes, not gray. If you don't get the color of the eyes correct how can anyone believe the rest of the story? It's documented that he had blue eyes.

Imagine at night wondering if you were gonna wake up to tomorrow.

LOL… But, I will not be traveling to go visit his grave, sadly… I never knew him of course because, a century & generations of the past are bygones years… Except, I just knew he was related by my Mother’s side of the family & that he was considered to be always a very bad boy!!! LOL… And, that he was born & originally was from NY, like the rest of our entire family is, since the 1820’s… LOL… 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

General Lew Wallace, who was Governor of the New Mexico Territory during the Lincoln County wars, had quite a history himself; he had a flamboyant, if contentious, career during the civil war and served at the trial of President Lincoln's conspirators, then later at the trial of Henry Wirz , Commander of the infamous Confederate Andersonville Prison. As Governor, Wallace met with and made a deal with Billy the Kid to testify regarding the Lincoln County wars in exchange for a full pardon. Billy complied but a power-hungry District Attorney revoked the deal and slapped the Kid in jail immediately following his courtroom testimony. The Kid escaped and thus began his final crime spree in 1879. But perhaps General Lew Wallace's greatest claim to fame was as an author. In 1880 he wrote/published the novel BEN HUR: A TALE OF THE CHRIST which in 1899 became a smash traveling theatrical extravaganza and then in 1907 was adapted for the silver screen as the first of five movie versions of Wallace's tale. Two of those films became cinema classics: Fred Niblo's 1925 silent version starring Ramon Navarro and Cecil B. DeMille's 1959 blockbuster starring Charlton Heston. Interestingly, even though BEN HUR is hailed as the most influential religious novel of the 20th-century [it was even blessed by Pope Leo XIII], Wallace himself never personally joined a church and the original idea for his novel came to Wallace from an agnostic! BTW: despite the official account of Billy's demise, I believe he wasn't killed in 1881 and instead that Garrett gunned down an innocent man. In the 1940's William Henry "Brushy Bill" Roberts made a pretty strong forensic case for being the real William Bonney; but as late as 2004 DNA testing to prove it one way or another was still being blocked by a court. Roberts is the man from Hico, TX, that Jordan mentions briefly in his narrative... and it's quite a story all by itself!

The assumption that the Kid died at 21 comes almost exclusively from Pat Garrett's book, much of which was ghost written by Ash Upson, who actually did know a very young Billy and the Kid's mother in Silver City. But conveniently the month and day given in the book is a match for Upson's own, except for the birth year given as 1859. It's likely fabricated. According to those who knew the Kid well, both as a child and during the LC War, he was more likely born between 1860 and 1862, so something under 21 when he died.

Fun fact he never actually went by Billy the kid it was a mistake writing in a newspaper article but it stuck he was known has the kid though. I'm not sure about Pat and the kid back then death photos of outlaws were a big thing so why should William Bonney be any different. So much evidence apart from a body that is the only thing that makes me think Pat let him go if he ever met Bonney on that night at all let's not forget Garret killed 2 other men mistaking them for the kid before declaring he got him the 3rd man had to be the kid or Pat's reputation would have been tarnished. For all we know the kid could have lived on for a few more years going by different names and was killed and buried under a different name altogether.
