The 90-Year-Old Man Who Was ACTUALLY Billy the Kid

Описание: This is a YouTube description for a video titled "The Man Who Claimed He Was Billy the Kid at 90 Years Old."

Description:

In 1949, nearly 70 years after Pat Garrett claimed to have shot Billy the Kid in a dark room in Fort Sumner, a man named "Brushy Bill" Roberts emerged from the small town of Hico, Texas, with a shocking claim: "I am William H. Bonney, and I never died."

What started as a bizarre rumor turned into one of the most compelling mysteries in the history of the American West. Brushy Bill didn't just claim to be the outlaw; he possessed an encyclopedic knowledge of the Lincoln County War, bore scars that matched the Kid’s documented wounds, and—most shockingly—passed a series of tests that left historians stunned.

In this video, we investigate the legend of Brushy Bill:

The Escape Story: Brushy Bill’s detailed account of how he switched places with another man on that fateful night in 1881 and fled to Mexico.
