My great great grandfather was killed by Billy the kid . My great great grandfather was the sheriff of Lincoln county his name was William Brady

Just in case anyone wanted to know, being wanted for $5,000 in 1881when he died would be like $127,000 today.

I think about all those miles and miles traveled riding a horse in the snow, rain and sun. Tough people in those times. I love my New Mexico! 505/575!

I was on a Greyhound bus and it stopped there.. I couldn't believe it I thought Billy the kid was so good at escaping they put a jail cell around his grave

The real grave of Billy the kid and his two pals was washed away in a flood, and nobody knows where it is. This is just a Memorial marker.

Billy was not an outlaw , he was a freedom fighter.

He never died bill Roberts that was Billy the kid I have done so much research on this pat never killed him he let him go beacuse they where pals

I'm afraid the only thing under the tombstone at Ft Sumner is dirt. Until the State of Mexico finally gets over making money off a lie, and finally admits the truth, the over whelming truth, that Billy survived that night in Ft Sumner, and went on to live a thrilling life to the age of 90. His name, his real name, was William (Brushy Bill) Roberts, and his true grave is in Hamilton, Tx.

Never in a million years did a kid named Billy, ever imagine how famous he would be so far into the future long after he was dead. 😎

I must correct you sir but when Billy was killed he was unarmed and shot in the dark that is confirmed .

Even after death he’s put behind bars to not escape again

Oh course it snows in New Mexico.

The parents of Pat Garrett are from my hometown in Louisiana. His parents are buried here & they recently put a historical marker where his home place once was.

I’m originally from New Mexico and people are always amazed when I tell them that it snows out there! 😂 If you want to visit somewhere really cool, visit Lincoln NM where the Lincoln County Wars happened. Without giving anything away, there’s some awesome historical buildings and artifacts pertaining to Billy the Kid there! Hope you both have a great time in the Land of Enchantment!

I’ve been to so many of the places you visit. I love your channel! My grandpa was a history buff and as a kid he took me to hundreds of old west graveyards. This was in the early 70’s so many of those places are completely erased from existence now. Old pony express relay stations were just allowed to be paved as interstate 15 grew ever wider but I will never forget. Billy’s grave has enough notoriety to survive and I’m grateful for that.

The Billy the Kid museum is actually very good. They have his old pistol and rifle and hundreds of other artifacts. There is a large rock he carved "Billy Kid" into. I was amazed. Lots of historic Native American artifacts too. Well worth the small entrance fee. They also have a tourist shop with some fun things for the kids and clothes for adults.

The spot where he actually died has a marker just a couple hundred yards or so from the grave. The marker is just in a field, but it is where the Maxwell House once stood.

I think it's great that even in death nobody still really knows where he is. I think he would have wanted it that way.

Pat Garrett is located at masonic cemetery in Las Cruces, NM.. I've visited his grave since I was a kid, since I live 6 houses down from the haunted cemetery.. we've had many famous ghost hunters come down and film big sets at night.. we have a beautiful area across the street, were all the headstones are dated in 1800's..

Charlie Bowdrie and Tom O Folliard were definitley in his gang, the house he was killed in was one story
