Ah yes, the Garrett Clan.

Believe me, we'd rather have slick Billy spending his time on this, then his usual routine of money wasting.

I'm no historian, but if the movie has any truth to it, he was promised a pardon by the acting Governor, way back when, and was cheated out of it. If that's the case, pardon the man.

Why would you pardon a known murderer and thief?

Oh wait, he's famous.

Billy the Kid turned himself in, after being promised a pardon for involvement in a gunfight in which he did not participate.

Once in custody, the governor double-crossed him, and he was sentenced to hang.

He broke out, and in the fight to escape, he killed two deputies.

Plenty of wrongdoing all the way round as I see it.

Billy the Kid had great press, but there were others involved in that little war that were tougher and deadlier than him by far.

I consider him the Paris Hilton of the old west.

Billy the Kid was no push over, but Dirty Dave Rudabaugh was a son of a biatch tough-ass bastard. I dunno if he was in the Lincoln County War, but I know he and Billy the Kid did ride together at some point.

I always thought Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian was a homage to him. The main character only known as "the kid" reminded me of his story. Less heroic, and much more barbaric, and much more gritty as I'm sure the West was then.

Wasn't Buckshot the ornery coot in the outhouse? Brushy Bill was an intriguing character.

how is the guy with the chops the grandson of garrett, who died in 1908? at best, this means his father was born in 1908. technically it's possible, but it just seems likely, both his father and grandfather would have had to fathered children in their fifties or sixties, and he'd still be old. he looks 40.

Buckshot Roberts killed Dick at Blazers Mill (I think? and yes while in the shiathouse). Brushy Bill was a fraud.

Oh, I don't think he was a wimp or anything. I just think that it's amazing that he's among the top five or so names when people talk about the old west considering his skills and such. He probably knew how to handle a gun and was probably tough, but who wasn't back then? Compare him to Wild Bill for example. Wild Bill actually had a high noon style shootout in the middle of a street. That only happened in movies outside of that one event really. He was being interviewed by a writer for a sporting magazine once and, to show the reporter his skill, drew both pistols at once and simultaniously shot two fenceposts on either side of a road. That shot is all but impossible. The reporter later said that he would believe any story about Bill that didn't defy the laws of physics. Wild Bill also shot ten out of ten thrown quarters in a shooting contest once.

But if you ask the average person on the street who would win in a fight, what do you think the answers would be like? The Kid had great press.
