Alias Billy the Kid

by William V. Morrison, C.L. Sonnichsen

In 1948 a childhood friend of Billy the Kid claimed Billy was still living and led investigators to a man in Texas known as William H. "Brushy Bill" Roberts. After initially denying it, Brushy finally agreed to confess his identity on the condition the investigator would help him obtain a pardon so he could die a free man. Over the course of several months Mr. Roberts provided many astounding proofs that he was the Kid of legend, including physical evidence and firsthand knowledge of many obscure aspects of the Kid's life. In addition, the investigator assisted Roberts with finding living acquaintances of Billy the Kid who signed sworn affidavits stating Roberts was the man they knew. Now after more than 50 years Brushy's original story is available for the first time ever in paperback.

A very sad end to a life long journey. I have believed the story of brushy bill Robert’s for many years. I can remember watching young guns 2 and loving the story of an old man claiming to be Billy the kid and how he got away. Unfortunately this book is the real story in that old man’s words. It’s easy to see nothing lines up and this old man was delirious. I wanted to believe this story so bad!

Im convinced

If you like a mystery or conspiracy then this one is for you. A solid read, though it has a lot of spelling mistakes, it genuinely presents the idea the brushy bill was billy the kid.
