LISTEN TO "RIDE INTO THE OLD WEST" BY DREW AND ELISE GOMBER — Radio Show #3
Listen as Drew and Elise describe Billy the Kid's escape from jail, how he shot two deputies in the effort and how the route he took to Fort Sumner becomes elemental in his ultimate fate. Movies portray Billy and Pat Garrett as close friends; however, this wasn't true. Hence, Garrett more than likely did not protect Billy by staging his death — as the story goes.
Interestingly, long after Billy met his fate, Garrett was himself, ultimately shot in the back of the head, and, even more astounding, this was considered self defense on the part of the murderer? Listen in and find out why! >
