Billy the Kid, New Evidence


About the guy who bought a photo of Billy the Kid playing croquet, one of only two pictures of the young fellow known to exist. The documentary from National Geographic focuses on efforts to authenticate the picture. We know how it ended so there wasn't much suspense. I mostly felt sorry for the poor wretch who sold the photo for $2.

The doc had recreations of Billy the Kid's "crimes". Seems like he was right to kill at least some of those people. It might have been better if they used clips from Hollywood movies about him.

Billy the Kid was no Paul Newman. I never noticed he was wearing a sweater.
