Hello Mr. Skinner. Nice to see you back again! Hope you and your daughter are doing well. Please let her know we're thinking about her, and that she's in our prayers.
Welcome back, good sir. Its always nice to see you, and you are quite a songster. As many here, I have been following you from the beginning and its wonderful to how far you've come. My best to you and yours. 🙂👍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🌹☮
Jerry, you always put your best into everyone of your videos. I love the song that you wrote in the end of this video. You are a very talented artist/creator...
That is a great song! I have been a fan of Billy the Kid for all my life and I am reading everything I can find on the famous outlaw. Gale Cooper is one of my favorite RUclips sites. She has done a lot of research and deserves credit for it.
Jerry another well done.... I loved the Paulette song. When I was a kid I always wanted to be Billy the Kid with my stick horse. Then I found out about Sam Bass..... then he was my hero. I guess I've always be kinda an outlaw..... I wouldn't have thought that the photo was that small. I guess because Billy the Kid was so larger than life. Well done Jerry Thank You!
Fantastic, WOW , Jerry this is a wonderful documentary. So happy your back with us. You make my day everyday I wake up and look for your documentary’s. This one is great, thanks again my friend, stay well and keep em coming. Augie and Jill Blase, winter Springs !, Florida.🤠
Hello Jerry glad to see another video of yours. Congratulations on the words to the song at the end…you are an artist. Poor Billie sure died young. Take care Jerry
Thank you Mr Skinner For Your. videos And I absolutely love your Song You gotta a Gift my friend. I would love to be able to put that song in my music playlist.
The Maxwell barn was moved to Maxwell New Mexico and used for a stagecoach stop on. Santa Fe trail. This was on my familiy's ranch. It was numbered each tember and reconstructed. I knew some relatives of Billy's girlfriend in Las Vegas New Mexico. My friend's great garanmother had a trunk with artifacts including letters. She only showed it to us once. I wonder if these things will come to light in future. This was in 1970's. TY for a great video.
What a delight to see you in our Mailboxes Mr. Skinner! As I read the messages from your adoring Fanbase, I'm convinced that they ALL think of you as Family as I do! No doubt many like myself send positive vibes, prayers and thoughts to you and your Family on a daily basis! It's such a treat to have you come into our kitchens and sit in your favorite seat and enjoy a Cup Of Joe with us as you discuss your video! Your Song with the help of your Granddaughter is going to be played many times over with Big Smiles too! You sir could describe paint drying on a wall and The Skinner Posse would be fixated on every word! Thank you for always thinking of us and please know You Make A Difference! MOO From COW-lumbus, Ohio
thank you Stuport, you are very kind. It is very easy for anyone to except kind words, but it speaks more for the one giving the compliment than receiving it. Thank you again my friend. Jerry
Well, if you was still in the business, i would sure let you my friend. Thank you Carolus, your 'thats how i got to memphis'is the best, even better than your friend T's. Jerry
Hi Jerry, what a wonderful documentray as ever. That Paulita Song is just amazing*------------Can't stop singing to it. it's now a sound bug in my ear. Please send the youtube link for it. Please
Was it not true that the tintype image was reversed in developing, and that he was right-handed, not left-handed?? I remember reading that but you did not mention it. Was I wrong?
Tintypes were reverse images by default. That was just a quirk of the technology. Interestingly, this image was published twice by the Illustrated Police News (Boston) before Billy's death. They had no way to translate the tintype into print, so a woodcut or engraving was made from which to print on the paper. It looks rather like a pen and ink sketch. As evidence that the people of that time understood the tintype process, the IPN printed version of this famous picture shows everything corrected. The Winchester 73 is in Billy's left hand, and the Colt Revolver on his right hip. It is believed that they had Garrett's copy to work from, unless a fourth image was made available from another source.
As always, great video. I remember hearing a story that Billy the Kid escaped an early death and settled in a small town close to Granbury, Texas where he died of old age. Do you have any commentary on that?
I wonder if Pat Garrett really did kill Billy the Kid? Weren't they best friends? I just can't wrap my head around that for some reason. Oh well, RIP Billy the Kid, and all of the rest of your gunslingers in Lincoln County, New Mexico. I would love to visit Billy the Kid's grave, but is Billy really in that actual grave site? What a mystery?
Just so you know, the photo at 3:50 is not Dave Rudabaugh. It's a photo of an unidentified man that was purchased in an antique store in Oregon. The owner has been posting it online as Rudabaugh simply because he thinks it matches descriptions of Rudbaugh. Unfortunately, because there are no known photos of Rudabaugh, this misidentified photo has spread.
The copy of the tintype that Pat Garrett had may have been Billy's own, taken from him at Stinking Spring. While Garrett never went on record as to how he acquired it, that seems more likely to me than Billy giving one to him before he was sheriff. The Kid had many closer friends and Garrett was probably more an acquaintance than a friend. In any case, long before Garrett published his version of the tintype in his 1881 book, it was published in the Illustrated Police News twice in 1881, March 5th and June 4th editions, while the Kid was still alive. As with Garrett's version, it is a wood cut or engraving made from the image. They did not have the ability to print photographs into the newspapers at the time. So the IPN publisher in Boston likely obtained one of the tintypes, quite possibly from Garrett. Or, they had access to the 4th copy, the recipient of which history does not record. The unique feature of the IPN published version is that it displays the knowledge (no doubt common at the time) that a tintype created a mirror image. Their woodcut reproduction corrected that, showing the Kid's revolver on his right and the rifle in his left hand.
In 1881 Billy the Kid shot those two deputies and seven years later my mother's grandparents got off the ship from Naples, Italy to start their lives in America. I wonder if they had any idea about American cowboys or Billy the Kid then.
Hello Mr. Skinner. Nice to see you back again! Hope you and your daughter are doing well. Please let her know we're thinking about her, and that she's in our prayers.

You are right, he was right handed. Thank you James for your question. Jerry

@@Rollin_L Thank you.
Amazing it took so long for someone to notice the loading port for the rifle was on the wrong side.
As always, great video. I remember hearing a story that Billy the Kid escaped an early death and settled in a small town close to Granbury, Texas where he died of old age. Do you have any commentary on that?
Even 150 years ago,,,,,,,women like the bad boys!

Should be your intro 😉

The owner has been posting it online as Rudabaugh simply because he thinks it matches descriptions of Rudbaugh.

I wonder what the photographer would think, if he were to know that someone bought that tin-type for over $2 million?
✌🏻❤🤠
One of the most famous gunslingers and no picture of his dead body seems wierd.
Yep. The Clanton bunch, Jesse James, the Daltons all had death photos.
Don't care for all the country music drama but the historical info is great thank you.
Mule skinner blues.
That photo could be one of hundreds of young men. I've never seen proof it was him.
Some say the photo of Billy was a post mortem??? Is there any information about that??? Does anyone know, and is that even possible??🤔🤔🤔 thanx!!
Always wondered the history on the tin type
The copy of the tintype that Pat Garrett had may have been Billy's own, taken from him at Stinking Spring. While Garrett never went on record as to how he acquired it, that seems more likely to me than Billy giving one to him before he was sheriff.

Jerry I hope your family is doing well.
In 1881 Billy the Kid shot those two deputies and seven years later my mother's grandparents got off the ship from Naples, Italy to start their lives in America. I wonder if they had any idea about American cowboys or Billy the Kid then.
I thought William H. Money was a fictional character created by Eastwood in Unforgiven. Jerry, is there a story to be told about William Money?
I think Brushy Bill was the kid.
Yea I am with you on that brushy was the kid
Who really killed BTK? What year did he actually die?
In today's time , pat garrett would have been rested for murder because the kid didn't have his gun, He was in bed naked with his girlfriend
