That's pretty cool! Let us know what you think about the book!

Thank you! Hope to see you in town one of these days.

Glad you enjoy it!

We're working on it! The next one is a big undertaking but it's well underway. Stay tuned.

Thank you! We hope you can visit again sometime.

❤❤💘😴🐪🙆🙅🏽‍♂️😢😅😅😅❤❤❤❤

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you! We found no references to any other weapons being fired in the building other than those we mentioned. For now, there's still plenty of mystery surrounding the bullet holes.

Thank you! We hope you like it, and please leave us a review.

There were few if any Aragons in Lincoln during the war. Maybe none. At least according to the 1870 and 1880 census data.

Great place to go we saw it in 210, the funny part was Billy sure was fun some people need to take lessons from Billy and he was was hero 😊😊😊😊😅

Thank you! And yes, so far the historical record has been silent about the status of the bullet hole for decades after it was created. The search continues.

@@badhossmaps which would definitely throw some suspicion on it being legit. I could very much see that the actual hole was basically a small indent (it had just passed through a human body after all) and was enhanced later - paint or no paint. So perhaps that is what the daughter remembered? Even the earlier records of the bullet hole being there, didn’t indicate (at least as far as you read) how large the hole was. And what happened to the second hole? We probably won’t ever know for sure. But the museum is probably justified to indicate to guests that either we don’t know or it seems to be an enhanced feature.

Thank you for watching!

We were quoting a historic interpretive script. You are indeed correct, James Bell collapsed after exiting the back door.

Garrett wasn’t present to witness anything and crime scene forensics wasn’t really a thing at the time. I believe Garrett was very often a liar but why do you think Billy couldn’t have missed?

Bushy Bill Roberts said he fall and shot the wall and then it hit Bell in the neck.

@@SULLIEDASP Brushy was only two or three years old at the time, and probably in Texas. Still, what you state is awfully similar to what Garrett wrote- caromed off the wall and struck Bell- which was the basis of my post. You don't suppose Brushy read Garrett's book and took that story from him, do you? Seems Brushy and Garrett are on the same page here, other than the location of the wound.

​@@Rollin_Lbrushy was not 2 or 3 years old at the time he took the name of his cousin who was 2 or 3 years old , brushy was born in texas in 1859 Get your facts right and stop quoting others that got that wrong !

@@user-hg4bq8mp4b Who are YOU quoting? Answer that for us all. Other that William V Morrison's unsubstantiated claims about what Brushy told him, what evidence do you have of when or where Brushy was born and under what name? What we are told are "Brushy's own words" come only from hearsay evidence of what Brushy supposedly told Morrison, but there is no public record of anything from Brushy himself as of this time. We'd all like to see the primary evidence. You can spout the Brushy Bill talking points as much as you want, but no one has ever produced a single primary document to support the tale. There's literally nothing. And by the way, Buffalo Gap, Texas was not yet founded in 1859, so there's another one you need to explain. Another question, if Brushy was really 58 years old as of September 12,1918, why did he sign his legally required draft registration card for all men 18-45 years old? That record exists, it's available for anyone to view, and no one believes he was pretending to be about 40 at the time to disguise an age of 58. On top of that, the supposed birth year of 1859 for the Kid comes exclusively from Pat Garrett, while you Brushy people keep insisting that everything Garrett said was a lie. How do you explain that one? May I borrow a phrase from you: Get your facts right and stop quoting others that got it wrong!

Pat Garrett claims to have done so, yes.

@@badhossmapsPat Garret claimed lots of things that were simply not true. For instance Killing the kid. 😉 I enjoyed your video! I just went through Lincoln 3 weeks ago. There’s a feeling you get in the places you know Billy shot it out with adversaries vs. the nothing felt at his supposed grave site in Fort Sumner.

McCarty

That’s what I wondered?

No. Pat Garrett said there was only one bullet hole, and that he removed the bullet in the days immediately following the shooting.

Ken Mains has done this, they found blood at the top of the stairs.

@@Dragonette666 At the top of the stairs. I'm talking about the wall with bullet holes. Once a projectile passes thru a body does it not carry dna with it.

@@incaboy1951 seems like I watched a video where they said that those bullet holes were added when the courthouse was remodeled. Also keep in mind evidence has to be preserved in climate controlled areas. After about 150 years and probably countless people putting their finger in it, I don't think so.

They could be, yes, but there are a few problems with forensics testing. First there would be a lot of red tape getting permission from the State, which owns the building. The second and bigger issue is that the Courthouse has had 150 years of tourists touching and poking everything, numerous wall-to-wall remodels including new plaster and floors, and it was even a school for many years. It's very unlikely the original bullet(s) would have made holes anywhere near that large in a solid, plastered adobe wall after already having passed through the chest cavity of an adult male. So if they are real, they've certainly been made larger from all the fingers wanting to touch or take a little piece of history. This is why the protective plastic eventually had to be placed over them.

@@badhossmaps I seem to remember a group of experts used luminal and discovered blood in the floor boards and basement shower area in Lizzie Bordens house. This was about 150 years after the event.

Pat Garrett said he removed a bullet during his investigation days after the incident. There's no other mention of bullets in the wall from the historical record.

He recieved a pardon,so he's not!😂

With the possible exception of Bell (and Carlyle if you attribute that to the Kid, which I do not), everyone the Kid shot was in self defense or was a criminal himself. Cahill and Grant are self-defense, clearly. Olinger, Morton, Baker, Brady and Hindman had all been involved in stealing cattle and murder. Morton, Baker and Hindman are members of the party that murdered John Tunstall, while ostensibly trying to claim 9 horses on Brady's orders that were specifically exempt from seizure. All four of those men willfully perjured themselves to Federal Agent Frank Angel as part of a cover up. Olinger served with the violent Seven Rivers Warrior gang and is documented to have killed in cold blood with some frequency. Wild card is McCloskey, who had once been loyal to Murphy/Dolan but was killed in the same incident as Morton and Baker. Not so much is known of him, to me at least, but virtually no one on the Murphy/Dolan side had clean hands. By the way, when Morton, Baker and McCloskey were killed, the Regulators carried legitimate badges and warrants, the Kid included.

Praising and studying history is two different things!

@@Rollin_L i coudnt have said that better
