Billy the Kid was gunned down at the tender age of twenty-one — or was he?

Everyone ‘knows’ that William McCarty/Henry McCarty/Henry Antrim/ William Bonney, alias Billy the Kid, was killed by Pat Garrett around midnight on July 14, 1881 at Fort Sumner, NM. Or, was he? Authors like William V. Morrison, W. C. Jameson, William A. Tunstill, Jannay P. Valdez, Robert E. Hefner, and Brett L. Hall wrote that Billy the Kid escaped death that night and died an old man by the name of Brushy Bill Roberts in Hico, Texas in 1950. Well, someone was eventually going to find the truth about Brushy. Jim has uncovered undeniable proof who Brushy Bill really was. Was Brushy the real Billy the Kid? Maybe!! On the other hand, author, Helen Airy, wrote about a man by the name of John Miller whose family claimed that he was Billy the Kid. Miller is said to have never claimed to be Billy the Kid, but he never denied it! Jim, again, found significant proof who John Miller really was. Maybe Miller really was Billy the Kid!! You’ve heard all of the so-called ‘evidence’ for and against Brushy Bill Roberts and John Miller, and now, you will see real hard evidence. Take advantage of Jim’s 40-50 years of indepth research. This book is totally nonfiction and it contains foolproof evidence of who these two old men really were. Only one could have been Billy the Kid. Jim provides new information about the real Billy the Kid. Most authors and historians believe that his real name was William Henry McCarty, but was it? They claim Catherine McCarty was his mother and Joseph McCarty was his half brother, but were they?

Jim Johnson has been intrigued with the Old West, its lore, and its legends all of his life. His interest began while watching the old black and white western movies made in the 1940s and 1950s. Over the years he has collected and read thousands of nonfiction books and magazines on western outlaws and lawmen. Today, his library overflows with these nonfiction western books, magazines, and includes hundreds of historical documents. Jim read this information thoroughly and with caution. He was amazed at the contradictions, not only within books, but between books, and some of the fiction added to glamorize the books. His research over the last 40-50 years has taken him across the southwest, including Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, and Oklahoma, and the midwest, including Kansas, Illinois, and Indiana. He has copies of thousands historical documents from archives and government records from these states, and from internet records.
