Was This Old Man Really Billy The Kid ? Presented by BB

 

                                                                          Bushy Bill




1886 or thereabouts! Bill is wearing a Topper,while playing cards with other members of the Regulators. These were a gang of outlaws that took their own self styled unwritten law and justice into their own hands durring the Lincoin County CattlemansWar of 1878.




This outlaw William Bonney, was doved Billy The Kid,and was shot dead by Sheriff Pat Garrett. But did he really survive such a shooting,and therefore cheat death for a short while longer than the mere history of the Wild West Legend dictates?


Billy the Kid pictures often displayed together to report that these pictures are one in the same person and that Billy actually suvived to live out himself to old age. Whatever the case might be really i would take a guess that we will never really know the whole truth pertaining to this Robin hood movie legend time has built up around him. Now i remember in such movies that Billy was left handed,but the picture comparison shown above i guess is a right handed fellow upon the left,and so i am thinking did those that printed out the left handed ones have the plates reversed or as some might say in my neck of the woods," Back to Front?" Because the first picture upon display is that of a right handed guy in  very old age, alongside a much younger Billy, being shown as a very well armed left handed gunman.                                           


 
And so it was that i alone decided to reverse that first picture showing the old man wearing a gun upon his left sided hip. But looking at the metal buckle i see the gun belt oddly threaded the wrong way round than i being right handed would wear it. So i will therefore put it forwards to you the reader to decide upon the matter of such a possible mistake! For in reality we are upon an aged eyed dusty roadway leading to some-where . But being BB,i certainly find such a mystery to my liking!                                                                                                                                               
For a more thoughtful measure upon the wind of change " Bushy Bill" Roberts of Texes - claimed prior to his death in 1950 that he was indeed Billy the Kid. Such a story presuposed that Garrett killed the wrong man and lied about it. Now books have been written of these old men of the wild west and in my case i do not take bitter sides of upset arguments because such things cannot be proved and i realise even in the courts of law it simple cannot be proved one way or another,but this has been realised ...these old guys of fame are most certainly all dead.                                                                                                         
Thank's for taking time out to visit here,                                                                                                        
Stay safe ,stay well and help others if you can. BB
