The Dirty on Billy the Kid

I'm an avid reader and one of the groups I belong in has a published author among it's members.. OK he's also the group owner as well. LOL I'm currently reading his book!

This group is called COLD WEST Detective Agency. It's an amazing little group of retired and current law enforcement, investigators, forensic experts, novice and professional historians and well anyone who wants to join!

They talk a lot about Billy the Kid and what really happened to him. Some believe the legends of his death dying young are false and that he actually died an old man.

It's utterly fascinating! Anything that deals with the Old West, they talk about it! 

The Kid

On Amazon Prime video there's a western called "The Kid".  I enjoyed it though it was a bit violent. I have no problem with the violence because that's pretty much how it was back then. 

I was upset to see Billy's horse get killed. I hate seeing animals get killed, even if it is just a movie and the horse wasn't real. I know, I know. I'm a wuss when it comes to animals getting hurt, even in cartoons! I'm bawling like a baby when I see it. LOL

 I think that the young man that portrayed Billy the Kid did an amazing job in his role. I also will admit to watching it because Chris Pratt was in it... LOL and I will also admit to shedding a few tears when Paulita, Billy's pregnant girlfriend got hysterical when he was killed by Pat Garrett.

It's definitely an eye opener to the ways of life back then. I can only imagine how many family members subjected the women in their families to whore houses. Very sad indeed.
