Dear Mr. Jerry. I wanted to write and let you know how much your videos mean to me. I discovered your videos about a year ago while researching Wyatt Earp. About the same time, my father in law was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He and I shared a love for the Wild West and all of the heroes that go along with that time. I would visit my father in law every Wednesday and Friday to sit with him and visit. Some time during those visits I mentioned your videos to him and he said, lets check one out. Well, that started a weekly tradition for us where upon entering his house he’d say, “what’s Jerry got for us today?” We’d listen , drink coffee and sit. Eventually my father in law was confined to the bed as his illness progressed but we continued our tradition of my visits and listening to a Jerry video. Towards the end when he could no longer talk and was in a great deal of pain, I still played your videos on my phone and he seemed to calm down. He died December 29th , 2021. I’ll never forget our special visits during that last year and thank you for making such great videos that brought a little peace to a couple of old cowboy buddies. Take care sir and God bless.

Jerry Skinner should be on Prime Time television. What an amazing Gentleman this man is. His commentary is just out of the world.

Mr. Skinner, as far as I'm concerned you could read from your car insurance policy and I would sit by the speaker like the old RCA dog. Love your work!

I absolutely love this video. In 7th grade I lived in Ruidoso, New Mexico (Lincoln county)and we had to dress up like someone we learned about in social studies. I picked Billy the Kid. I researched and learned so much about Billy the Kid.

Being a native New Mexican, you know two things in life. First, is the fact that the desert is BIG, hot and empty. Second is the legend of Billy the Kid. THANK YOU so much for giving credence to his story. Kudos to you Mr. Skinner, please keep up the good work. I can only imagine the sheer amount of research you did to produce this video. AMAZING, AND the old tintype photos are simply essential to the tale. BRAVO SIR!!

Billy was never going to have a long life, but he lived a memorable life that will not be forgotten. Something about William Bonnie resonates with me... Thank you for this documentary.

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST DOCUMENTARY ABOUT BILLY THE KIDS LIFE I have ever watched/listened to. It answered every single question I’d ever had. Thank you sir

Mr Jerry Skinner. Your documentaries are so amazing. You should have your own show. I listen to them daily while Im cleaning. I would love to see a documentary of you. That would be great.

This guy has went to so many trouble for us making these videos. This is better than anything on television. I've watched all of them. Your really good. Who needs the history channel. Thank you for all you do.

that is an awesome last sentence. „they had to wait until he was dead to put bars around him“ great documentary i love the contemporary footage. thank you very much Jerry.

YESSS!!!! Jerry , his narration and a kick ass documentary . Life is good..

History is a good teacher. Thx, Jerry for your love of History.

My favorite outlaw and wild west historian of the day. Mr. Jerry Skinner god bless you sir and keep it up keep it going. I always loved history as a kid but you got a way about bringing it close and personal... Let's petition to get Skinner a shot at a miniseries of his own.. I don't know how but just an idea.

Hi Jerry, I'm A 70 Year Young Man That Loves Your Work! It's Great To See The Man Behind The Voice... Thanks Much, Wayne Redmond Washington 2-9-2024

Wow ....I hope Mr.Jerry that you'll see ....one day this comment .....I could listen to you for hours ....days... Thank you so much for your work....May God bless you and your family. Thank you so much.

Jerry Skinner provides a certain speaking method in his documentaries that makes you want to listen, and that is what is needed to learn... You are not just "Hearing" him, you are truly "Listening" to the man's teachings... If its not being done already, public schools need to pay him to implement these types of lessons to kids. I would have benefited from a great teacher like this, & maybe kids of today would too... Great Job Mr. Skinner!

Now , I know it is Jerry Skinner telling these great truths of history !! To me, it's as if good ole ,Slim Picken came back to us !!! Thanks ! Jerry !!!

This just might be the best, most honest telling of the Billy the Kid story. Kudos!

It's great to finally see your face, thanks for all the great videos

Jerry you have a voice to rival any narration I have ever heard on celluloid. You popped up in my “suggestion box” and I’ve since devoured most of the videos on your brilliant channel. It’s also wonderful to finally put a face to these fantastic video films you make. Your laid back, cool, mellifluous tones, bring an added quality to your work. You always bring a certain dignity to your chosen subjects, as most of them have sadly passed away. You clearly respect there memory and life, giving the viewer an inside perspective into there lifetime and story. Telling a story and putting those pieces together is an art form. You make seamless, subtle editing and musical choices. In this video, you bring a humanity to the stereo typical perception of the infamous outlaw. Billy the kid was a “human being” with a mother, a brother, friends. acquaintances and a background. I never knew that lots of the original locations still exist. Photographs of Billy’s mother and his gun, his point of view from the jail house window and the other people in the story(like sheriff Pat Garrett), bring to this legendary tale, a more realistic authenticity. This is a historical, visual portal, into Billy’s life. I never would have known of a place called “Stinking Springs”. What a great name!! It really was the Wild West, a gun shooting lawlessness that makes the average cowboy film look like “a nativity play”. Have you read the book “Blood Meridian” by Cormac McCarthy by the way? I think you would appreciate it and I highly recommend that you do. This film very much reminded me of this book. I appreciate particularly your videos on the lesser known, perhaps under appreciated actors. These faces that penetrate our tv/film screens and will be forever etched in our memory. You somehow mange to humanise whoever you choose to highlight, like a final swan song or a magnificent mini epitaph. You probably won’t see his comment but thank you so much for your work, it’s attention to detail and the care with which you execute it. Keep them coming!! Best, from Liverpool England.🙏❤️. x

Mr Skinner, your videos should be shown on tv 📺 but then we’d lose your exclusiveness. Your videos are sooo good and informative and the juxtaposition of yesterday’s pictures and today’s are absolutely fascinating. Thank you for all your hard work. Your videos are obviously a labor of love; the truth of Americas’ Old West will live on because of historians like you Sir 👍👏👏👏

I just came across this Billy the Kid video and I just wanted to pay you my compliments, sir. That was great work and the quality of the photographs and along with the knowledge of the local history is a testament to the amount of research that you put in to each of these videos. This is what You Tube is best for. So people with passion for something can have an outlet to share it with those who will really appreciate it. Thank You!

Billy the Kid was notorious indeed. Great documentary, Jerry.

I was born and raised in Texas but I was raised learning all about the legend of Billy the Kid and after watching Young Guns 1 the first time I made my mind up at that point that one day I'm moving to New Mexico and then Young Guns 2 came out and I was blown away. Well I've been living in Pecos NM for 15 years now and I have never been happier in my life. I have cousins who were born and raised here in New Mexico and they ran the Mallett feed store in Las Vegas. I've fully enveloped myself with Billy the Kid. I feel a strong connection with him for some reason. I don't care what anyone says Billy isn't an outlaw he was a good guy who got caught up in the corruption of the times. And no matter what people think the Santa Fe ring is still going strong. Here it's who you know and not what you know. But they don't call this amazing state The Land of Enchantment for nothing and if you're looking for real magic then you'll find it in these old mountains. There's history like no other here and an old way of doing things that I don't see changing anytime soon. New Mexico is my home and my bones will be buried in this dirt. I may not be a native born but I promise you I have more love and respect for this great land than many people who were born here. I can't imagine living anywhere else.

Billy the kid is legendary.... will never die

I could listen to these stories forever I'm 35 and I love all your biographies these are the types of movies and stories I want to see ! I can't believe this channel isn't much bigger great job keep up the great work and be well!

Im 53 years old and stories of Billy the Kid never get old, only more intriguing. Great job Jerry.

Rewatching these videos and/or listening to them in the background. While working on something else. A superb historian, easiest to enjoy.

I really enjoy the history of billy the kid I and others use to play billy the kid thank you

Thank You so very much Mr Skinner. Your documentaries are *absolutely superb, in every way, including your most delightful voice.♥💫☮🌻

Mr. Skinner, I have always enjoyed your tales of history. I don't think anyone could do the job you do with them, even half as well as you! Thank you so much sir. What a blessing, I lived out west in Yuma Arizona for some years and sadly, never visited any historical places. My loss, my regrets.....

Very well done. Great story telling and chain of events. Thanks.

Outstanding documentary Jerry, had to watch twice. Absolutely incredible. When you post these documentaries my life stops to watch immediately. I think I have watched every movie about Billy the Kid including Chisom with John Wayne. You are the best my friend, and it was good to see your face. Please keep em coming.🤠 Augie and Jill Blase

Thank you Mr. Skinner!👍😁 We enjoy all the obvious hard work and energy, detail you put into your documentaries. Always well done! 👍👍👍😉

Mr Skinner, These are undoubtedly, totally legit, Classic UKposts. Some of the very best there is. Very much obliged.

He said "Hello Bob !" and pulled both triggers of the 10 Gauge shotgun .... have heard this story before and comes to mind every time i hear the story Billy the Kid, Another Great Documentary from Jerry ... thanks very much.

Excellent video, thanks to all who took part in making it! God bless.

Nobody recounts a story like Mr Jerry Skinner. I appreciate the kindness with which you treat the reputation of your subjects . In a world that now tends to focus on the negative and tarnish peoples memories for the sake of ratings your reverent style is always a welcome change

Always been a Billy the Kid history guy, and this video just proved that. Thank you for this. Great video. Loved your final comment "Waited until Billy was dead to put bars around that would hold him". Thanks again!

Well done. Thanks for the history and historical pictures and locations. Thanks for including the modern pictures as well.

The best Storyteller on UKposts!

Thank you… this was an excellent documentary. I live a few hours away from Lincoln county and Ft Sumner. After seeing this, I want to go back and explore now that everything is ‘open’

Thanks for providing this wonderful slice of history Jerry

What a wonderful documentary! This was so well researched and presented and your voice is simply perfect for the narration. Thank you for this and well done!🤗❤️🐝

terrific documentary! Watched the whole thing in one sitting. You have a great story-telling way. Thanks!

The detail you put into this documentary is absurdly good. I have watched dozens of documentaries about this topic and never have I seen most of what you have shown even on the History Channel. Absolutely outstanding Thank You.

I am a big fan of the billy the kid story and this documentary was amazing the narrators voice is so soothing and interesting excellent stuff

Another great video Thank you .... to totally digress, we can only dream of roads like that in UK!!!

Jerry just has one of those voice's you love to listen to that's for sure

He (Mr. Skinner) does the best job of explaining things. Thank you, Sir. I wonder how I made it to 38, in today's world...how on Earth did anyone make it to 48, or beyond in those days?...

Thank you Mr Skinner, you are a great teacher.

Thanks Jerry for your retelling of the Lincoln County Wars and all of the participants , It was the most informative I’ve ever heard and told in your usual style that’s been my favorite for years now

no one tells it better than you jerry. you're a true documentarian. great job as usual.

Wow! Speechless... amazing! I really enjoyed it... I love it.. Billy The Kid!

I love this channel. This is my go to when I want to sit back, chill out, and learn something cool.

I'm so glad i watched this, you brought everyone back to life, Billy bless you son 🙏 bless you all ❤

Hello Mr Jerry Skinner. I just wanted to say that I find these documentaries immensely entertaining and informative to view. Sir you sure enough have a remarkable unique gift with being able to tell a story. Thank you so very very much for making them and sharing with all of us.

Love billy the kid!! A true legend.

This is by far my favorite documentary that I have seen on the Lincoln county war.. Thank you love it

Absolutely fascinating video - I enjoyed watching it. Thank you very much Mr. Skinner!

great one jerry. this should be on television. what a lot of great research.

Thank you . Billy has been a hero of mine since childhood !

Love Lincoln. Very romantic Cowboy action in 1880s. My dad hunted on the Coe ranch in San Patricio. Visited several characters there in the old days. Thanks.

Love your documentaries, it’s like listening to my grandfather when he was alive,, he called windows “winders” also,,,, plus a battery was a battry, and winders needed warshed.. thank you for the history and the memories your voice brought back....

Keep posting Jerry, enjoying this channel!

I live your voice in these videos. Very calming. Great work.

wow that was amazing. i can almost smell the air, feel time grind, enter a place that is gone to us 21st century dwellers.. but continues to exist in the echoes of landscape and architecture.... and to a talented person.. an energy that one could still tap into and experience for themselves.... Billy The Kid. Old Henry....is a GREAT movie. Netflix...

You bring history to life Mr Skinner. Thank you.

This was great. You're a good story teller. I was in Lincoln in 2019 and this video took me back to that now quiet little town.

Thank you for such a fascinating history lesson!!

Even though I should be sleeping by now I just had to finish this wonderful video. Thanks for your hard work in producing all this great stories. God bless you Sir.

im irish but live in the u.k.thank you for the endless pleasure your films give me.i have a bad heart so rely on the p.c.your stories brighten my life p;us your voice sounds like slim pickens!

This was brilliant and very informative. This is probably the most educated story of Billy the Kid that you'll find. I love American history. Apparently, Billy the Kid's roots were from my part of the world, Ireland. His real name was McCarty, an well known Irish name as is Antrim, the county in Ireland I come from.

thanks for this excellent account of the true tale of Billy The Kid! I just love all your informative videos of history! You are a champion, for all the effort and time you put into this! Thank you always!

What a fantastic documentary Mr. Skinner and Thanks very much .

Wonderful work. I enjoy every episode. Thank you for all your efforts. I appreciate ya

Mr. Skinner, your story telling, detail, and videography really bring history to life. Thank you. Apparently Billy was fairly likeable and intelligent; you have to wonder what his life might have been like if it had not gone wrong.

Seems to me Billy the kid was just doing the best he could for his time- Same kind of corruption today on many times larger scale w/ more diverse level- Kinda simpler system back then- If you couldn't get figured out you just shot it out- Would saved lot red tape, time & loop holes as the system is today - Seems Billy was Man of his word which is a rairity nowadays- Thanks Mr. Jerry for putting the the story straight!

Awesome job! Thank you! I love our Western history!

I love your stories Jerry. i am a lover of the west, the old west .

You have the perfect voice to tell these stories. I could listen to this all day. Also, it's uncanny how much that first supposed picture of Billy looks like Emilio Esteves. How crazy is that? Now I truly feel like Emilio was born to play that part.

Awesome lessons .thank you Jerry

Thank you, Mr. Skinner! And greetings from Germany

Jerry you are awesome, keep up the fantastic work. First time I have seen what you look like, just like I pictured. I look forward to more.

You sir are awesome I’ve never seen a better Billy the kid documentary. God bless you Mr Skinner

Absolutely love your channel! Thanks for your beautifully presented channel excellent.

Jerry Skinner, so verywell done documentry and such an interesting subject, the sound is now great and unlike many of these documentries which have far too loud background, this is about perfect. Thanks for all the fabulous research you do into these cases, very much enjoyed by so many.

Another masterpiece Mr. Skinner. Thank you.

Love this channel mate your an inspirational fella.

I agree with Terri Ballard, it is nice to finally see your face. And, you know what, you look exactly as I thought you would. Jerry, I really really really like and appreciate your documentaries. I always look forward to them, and I hope you never stop making them. I'm sure that they are a lot of work to put together, but fans like me appreciate them greatly. By the way, your choice of music always works on all of your documentaries. The level on this one was perfect. Thank you! I, and I'm sure many others, anxiously await your next documentary.

Billy the Kid has always been the most fascinating

I love your voice, so perfect for these old west documentaries. Thank you very much for doing the research and putting out quality docs.

I'm new here, but the admiration so many have for the man narrating this video is absolutely outstanding, incredibly impressive imo. Jerry you my friend are a Gentleman and a scholar, sincerely a new subscriber who is looking forward to all your work. Many a thanks for your time and talent Jerry.

Great video Jerry love watching your channel.

Best documentary on this I’ve seen! Love to see the town presently with photos from the past. Thanks so much for your hard work.

Thank You Mr. Skinner. I was in Ft. Sumner and Lincoln a week ago. That was the third time to visit those areas.

Another great video. Thank you.

Amazing documentary! The "twang" in your narration makes me feel right at home with every slide and clip you show....simply awesome!

Total enjoyment. Thank You Sir.

Awesome story! Thank you for sharing!!
