Description:Billy the Kid: The Lost Interviews Historian and professional treasure hunter W.C. Jameson has had many adventures, but none more exciting than the discovery of the original tapes of William H. "Brushy Bill" Roberts, who went before the Governor of New Mexico in 1950 seeking a pardon for crimes committed as the notorious outlaw Billy the Kid. Billy the Kid: The Lost Interviews uncovers the original source material for William V. Morrison and C.L. Sonnichsen's groundbreaking 1955 work Alias Billy the Kid and provides never before revealed detail of Morrison's actual conversations with Roberts. Foreword Exerpt by Daniel A. Edwards Author of Billy the Kid: An Autobiography In 1950, a young lawyer named William V. Morrison shook up the world by bringing a 90-year-old Billy the Kid face to face with the Governor of New Mexico to seek a pardon for crimes committed during the Lincoln County War. There, for the world to see, was the Wild West’s most notorious outlaw, long thought to be deceased, back from the dead after almost 70 years and seeking to right the historical record once and for all. Unfortunately, history was not to be settled on that day, and the Governor chose to turn a genuine attempt at contrition and forgiveness into a media circus to further his own agenda. What should have been a respectful, private meeting with one of America’s living national treasures was instead turned into joke, and the butt of that joke was none other than William H. “Brushy Bill” Roberts. Despite the Governor's claims, many notable individuals, including President Harry S. Truman, supported Roberts' claims. Today, more and more people are joining the quest to correct history and tell the true story of Billy the Kid, and with each new addition, we find supporting evidences regarding our shared American History. As we continue to learn and grow, it is supremely important that we respect and acknowledge those who have carried the torch before us and on whose shoulders we stand. Were it not for Mr. Morrison and his many personal sacrifices, Roberts’ story would never have been told at all. Likewise, were it not for C.L. Sonnichsen, who made a decision to risk his livelihood and his reputation by coming alongside Morrison, Alias Billy the Kid would have likely never been published. And finally, were it not for W.C. Jameson, the more than one-hundred-year-old lie told about the death of Billy the Kid may have kept an unbroken grip on history. A grip that, I am very pleased to say, now continues to be loosened with every telling of Brushy Bill’s story and with every new piece of evidence found. Billy the Kid: Beyond the Grave has become a classic, and now, with this current offering, W.C once again takes us into the presence of Brushy Bill Roberts and allows him to share with us his own story firsthand.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
