*Even though it is rather idiotic.*

It's because his original headstone was stolen.

His whole body was stolen. People never touch Bonie and Clyde grave. Only Billy & Jessie James

@@jknumber5138 it's believed Billy's body was washed away with several others during flooding in the area. That's why it's not known for certain if this is really Billy's grave, someone else's, or possibly even empty. The cage is to prevent thieves and souvenir hunters from either stealing, or damaging the headstone.

That's actually interesting information!! Thanks for sharing!

Wow that's a lot !

Rumor has it Joe Biden is going to be buried there because he's a outlaw too .

You should have the oldest person in that line do an ancestry DNA test. It is pretty cool to have verifiable relatives to such notable individuals. My grandmother is 94 and while she isn't related to anyone particular other than a descendant of a mayflower passenger, I can verify DNA ancestors ("cousins") going back to that same era as Brady. You could actually see if you share DNA with the other children of Brady if they show up as shared matches.

Brady was evil

And how would you know if he was .

I'm not sure if I should say sorry or congrats on the fact Billy was infamous to some & a hero to others. Your great great grandfather probably wishes he wasn't on the Kid's list of victims.

That is awesome!!!!

Just like the quote from Young Guns when he said "I'll make you famous" he probably never thought he was referring to himself.

*No more than it does in the northern part of the U.S.*

it be mad cold here

Yup gets into the negatives at times. Where I work of of 550 the elevation is actually higher than Denver, Co

That was the only way he'd stay in a jail cell.

The cage was really build because people keep stealing the Kids headstone. After a while you get tired of replacing it. Makes for a good story though.

Also from New Mex and yeah it snows alot in some places lol

Born and raised here in Albuquerque. It crack me up when people ask what is Mexico like when I say I'm from New Mexico...😒😂

Taos? Great skiing.

It’s weird it’s bipolar out here

And no one needs a passport to come to NM. I'm from here also. People in the Midwest still think we live old school.

I'm not going to look at a criminal

@@mjphoto45 cause your a beauty!!!

@@mjphoto45 even though you are watching a video about the "criminal"

@@mjphoto45 I wouldn't, too. But this is Billy the Kid. I would love to express my compassion for this nice young man, which was murdered by injustice.

This is a really interesting place. Who knew a place linked this would be in the middle of nowhere..

Just another money making scheme.

In a way Billy escaped.

The Government won't allow DNA testing much like in John Wilkes Booth case. This can be all confirmed putting inmt in our past but the Government does not want to change history at all . Booths case for sure

@Ellie5621 I agree thank you.

Same with Crazy Horse, who is someone who means a lot to native people.

Pat,are we friends?" "Yes" Little did he know

I hate the Garrett family all together

@@supportyourtroopsathletes6460 just cause they killed Billy? Same. If Billy the Kid lived for another 10 years they would of made more Young Guns

My mother-in-law did her family ancestry. She found, from both her grandparents, that they were related to Patricia Garrett, also, Davy Crockett. Yes, she found documents, pictures that did lead up to her family history. Very interesting.

he was a thug and a murderer, if he was black you would be the first to point that out.

Im from chicago but ive always wanted to go to new mexico

Where’s your home In New Mexico? Family started the town of Moriarty.

Yeah, one of my favorite colloquial sayings in New Mexico is, "it is more fun than bowl of Green Chili Stew in front of a bunch of hungry tourists."

I’m from Gallup, NM 🔥

Of course but he’s not there 😂

Because someone dug it up once.

They did that 2 mock him because there was not a jail that could hold him back then.

Or they're made of iron so he can't pass through them when he rises from his grave as a spirit because Sam and Dean Winchester couldn't handle him.

@@MRRiley-ct8my no they did it cuz ppl kept messing with his grave

I think recently a third one emerged.

The one with him playing croquet is confirmed to be authentic

isnt there one where he is playing cards? and the other photo where he is pictured sitting behind the guy that later on kills him?

@@bmeeseeks2881 cool, I haven't heard about that one. But I'd love to check it out

Both of the Young Guns movies with Emilio Estevez are great and awesome. "Regulators let's ride."

@@goochdawg "That be me!"

Hey Luke, I think the reality is that to this day Billy the Kid was notorious to most people but a hero to others. Lol, the legend grows. Personally I think Billy enjoyed having a purpose and being famous was cool. I feel he probably enjoyed a good fight too. lol

Left a memoir ...fought monopolies

@@billlozier5551 Billy is looked upon as a hero because he was pushed into the Lincoln County War and his mentor John Tunstall was murdered. Billy,Dick and Charlie went after the killers. Billy probably killed less than 12 men, mostly crooked lawmen. Chavez was known to be extremely violent and was half Mexican .Billy killed only people like Brady. Those working for Dolan. Murphy died of cancer b. He wasn't shot between the eyes by Billy. Dolan wound up with it all. Murphy's family didn't get anything. Murphy is remembered for pairing up with Dolan . It was an uneasy business deal but their store and Army contracts using John Chisum's rustled cattle turned Chisum against them..Chisum was more powerful than them with 500 ranchers and farmers on his payroll plus hired Gunmen. Dolan and Murphy steered clear of Chisum and rustled cattle off other ranchers..John Chisum looked like James Coburn, the actor that played him in Young Guns ll a lot. Good casting in those movies. The events in those movies actually occurred. The writers just spiced them up a little. The Army did have a Gatlin gun but didn't use it in the seige on McSween's store. McSween was just caught in the crossfire trying to get to his house 2 doors down..When the store was set on fire, Billy and 3 others made it to McSween's house. It was 2 story so it gave them an advantage..The store was just a large log building but burned quickly. McSween's house survived and stood until the early 20th Century. It was partially delapidated but today it's attraction caused city fathers to rebuild it. It looks like the original house. Other buildings on that now street are standing and restoring them makes money. Billy The Kid makes more money today than when he was alive.. There's a channel on U Tube with real pictures of the original buildings and their replacements. Some were moved to farther down the street but basically the street is like it was originally.

Infamous you mean

Also, if you haven't been there, Taos NM is an awesome little town... and San Luis Colorado is a beautiful tiny town with history as well as Fort Garland Colorado :)

Brutal history. What a crazy time, mining wars, outlaws, Indian genocide. It’s interesting how they romanticize westward expansion and the frontier out there but we know what really happened.

Thank you for joining in our fun! 🎃🖤🥀💋

According to some. Actually Pete Maxwell's ranch hand was shot and killed in the dark. Billy escaped that night but never left New Mexico

The person shot at Pete Maxwell's house was buried in an unmarked grave at night by Pete's nephew and Pat Garrett

@@wawoodsman7198 wrong

@@wawoodsman7198 wrong

We all know that Billy escaped and Fort Summer wouldn't allowed Billy to be exhumed to see if his DNA matched his mother's that is buried in Silver City, NM. Of course that would solve the mystery and Fort Summer would lose all that tourist revenue.

Thank you! 🎃🖤🥀💋

What is the over all opinion of the locals of the crash? Maybe someone there saw and remembers what happened. Balloon? Spaceship? Russians?

I always liked that part where the dude takes a double hit.

Puking off the Red Rocks.... don't make movie's like that anymore. Saw that movie when I was 12. I was from a small town riding horses, rope'n, shooting guns and acting like The Billy the Kid gang out in the boonies!! Even rode in that area in Utah, saw petroglyphs, and the sight of an Indian massacre, the red paint indian hand prints still on the wall. Moab utah and surrounding area. Great memories!! Nothing like being free and riding on a horse 🐎 in the middle of nowhere, cooking breakfast and dinner 🍝 over a camp fire 🔥 Thanks I'm now going to move outta the city for sure and back to the country!!!! Love the channel it's LIFE CHANGING!! GOOD ENERGY AND FREQUENCIES YOUR WAY!! SERIOUSLY THANK YOU I NEEDED THIS FOR SOME REASON!!! 🤘👁️👍

"Hey Dowg. Did you see the size of that chicken?"

"Did you guys see the size of that chicken?"

“REGULATORS”!!!!

Agreed the Government does not want to change History about the truth. I know Billy is not there and the Garrett family is all liars even today

@@supportyourtroopsathletes6460 actually that’s partially true. I’ve seen evidence the real Billy was let go by Pat. Him and Pat were actually friends and Pat only became the new sheriff to pretend to kill Billy to get Billy out of the public’s eye. He probably told Billy get out of here and never come back. There’s evidence he fought in I believe a Mexican war. And he died in the 50’s in Texas. One man here in Arizona claimed to be him and there’s a grave of his claiming to be Billy to in Prescott.

brushy bill roberts? I dunno... he was a crazy old man who a lot of folks say told conflicting stories. however, it's possible that garrett shot the wrong man, and let billy go to escape a public assault in the press for his failures.

@@joeyclemenza7339 .. I only agree with part of your comment as it sounds like you have did research on the kid but with my intense research not once have I heard about conflicting statements from brushy , at the end of the day. Nobody will ever know the truth as the Government has stopped DNA being taken from the man shot by Garrett whom by the way and I can prove had conflicting stories in his own book and his own words. But there is speculation grounds that do indeed make sense that brushy was indeed the kid. Nobody will ever know however. Family ancestry does link Billy's brother to a grave somewhere in Colorado and does link him to a daughter. Where this daughter is burried or how she died, it does not mention. His mother s grave was moved in the same cemetery and a report of flooding of the area was documented as the reason. Speculation on her grave is questionable at best but the ancestry does believe they have the right grave of the mother. So between that all, there is possibility there is enough evidence out there but the Government would need to let scientist do DNA testing. They won't though and the Garrett family owns the museum in front of the reported Billy the kids grave so of course they are stopping any of this from happening themselves but there is absolutely no reason brushys grave can't be but the Government is stopping it much like they are doing John Wilkes Booth.

@@supportyourtroopsathletes6460 sadly that’s probably because the federal government had a part in it. John Wilkes Booth was a scapegoat. And the federal government knew of what was happening in Lincoln County (the Murphy-Dolan Ring) But let it slide and just used Billy as the enemy to point the finger at even though Billy wasn’t the problem he was actually like a vigilante imo. Taking down the corruption.

So it that his real grave, or the grave from the movie?

Thank you so much. I was going to comment I wish this guy wouldn’t get his “historical facts” from the movie young guns 2

in a movie i saw here in new zealand ,many years ago. Pat Garret had tears in his eyes. after shooting Billy. i grew up knowing off Billy the kid. i always had back of my mind. he seek his own justice
