Books are written. One is a Costco book full of pictures. They cost $60. It has slick pages. Pictures are nice. They include an explanation. PM me and I'll send you an address to send a check and...

I can send you a book for $60 which is almost what they cost me to print. PM me and I'll get you an address.

I think the two photos were taken several years apart. In the one with "lily"? Olinger is probably 47, the age he was at his death. He is somewhat younger and darker in the earlier photo. I...

LOL - every now and then things go clean over my head! What was Kasaian talking about anyway?

If you are alluding to Billy's front teeth, it appears to me that his upper incisors were kind of twisted and one slightly overlapped the other. It was a noticeable deformity and the Coe cousins...

I talked with Leon Metz once, we had lunch together in Mesilla. He said that he had written a lot of books, but he was really interested in Billy. He wrote a good book on Garrett.

Billy the...

I am in comm with a fellow who is systematically reading Sallie's diaries and we discuss what he finds out. They are not perfectly organized. I understand that one can get transcripts thru the U. of...

I saw this photo a week or two ago. Is that really Jesse James on the right? He does look kind of like him. He was a baby faced gent. I like the photograph. The most interesting thing about it...

If the lady in the photograph with Olinger is indeed Lily Casey then it adds credence to her statement in her book that she and the deputy were engaged to marry. In the same book she states that she...

Here is a wonderful tintype. You can tell, I think, that it is a 1/8th plate. The man is Juan Patron and his wife Beatriz. The young women is probably one of his two daughters. Juan was a good...

Here is Lily Casey's picture. I can't tell if she is the same lady in the photo of the two people...who I think are Lily and Olinger. Now I will grant you that this picture of Lily does not look a...

The manner in which the guy planted himself in his chair makes me think they are the same fellow. I also believe that the fact that he has crossed his ankles is an indicator that they two men are...

Here is a copy of a well known and often published photo of Bob Olinger. You can match this photo with mine that I posted above. Notice how he liked to sit with his ankles crossed. Billy killed...

Here is a little tintype that I passed over several times when searching in the shelves and bins in the store...

Considering books about BTK. Walter Nobel Burns wrote the first one, "The Saga of Billy the Kid". Written, as I recall in 1926. The interesting thing about his book is that Burns interviewed many...

Thank you. I figured if I put in enough C's and Q's that people would figure out who I meant.

In the saga of Billy the Kid there are some folks who are little known by other than those who seriously study the event. One of those guys was a 15 year old Spanish Speaking guy named Yginio...

This fellow is the least popular Regulator. This is Robert Widenmann. His existence was not known until the letters that John Tunstall wrote to his parents were studied. This guy's relationship...

Okay, Billy the Kid fans here is one of the most famous Regulators. He was an early leader of the gang taking...

Here is the full sized tintype of Dirty Dave Rudabaugh. This shows as the tintype does, so it is reversed from life. Dirty Dave is again wearing his new suit. He was described as having straight...

This tintype, (the one in the jail cell) I own the original, was probably taken in Billy's jail cell, the lightening enhanced by a reflector of some sort, the light source coming thru an open door. ...

This is a modern tintype. (referring to the girl holding the .22 rifle.) I like it though. Her dress is wrong and so is her hair. Nineteenth Century girls did not allow their hair to flow loose. The...

The picture of Matilda is a tintype and did not have its corners clipped. it was in better condition until I dropped it and that dent that runs crosswise through the her head. It cannot be removed. ...

I can tell you for a fact that if you drop a tintype that it lands on its edge and will develop a fold. I have done it to one of mine and it made a pretty severe crinkle int he iron plate. These old...

I hope that I am not boring everyone. I have shown tintypes of Billy and who I believe is Dirty Dave. The men were given new suits after they were captured. I think they were photographed when...

A lens about 2" in diameter. A depth of field of about zilch. I see foreshortening in the photo too. I am not sure how those tintype cameras affected the image. They can be amazingly clear....no...

I have been sharing this picture for some years now and I have seen it published here and there. I don't know who is in the Wilapedia page. I'll have to look it up.

Late entry: I just went to...

I found five tintypes of this fellow. Three of the have G.W. Morgan's name on the mat. I found them in...

BTW: if you see a tintype with a fold, as this one has, it has probably been dropped. I can't recall if I have dropped this tintype or not, but someone did. If you drop one it does not flutter down...

So, I ran across this tintype in Sallie's collection. It is the same size and condition as the other pictures. So who...

I took eight of the photos with me to Bob Boze Bell's offices in Cave Creek, AZ. He said to me that he gets requests to authenticate Billy pictures constantly. When I spoke to him I had not yet...

Thanks Goamules for responding to my posts of BTK pictures. I was surprised that so few of the experts would accept my photos as legit. While some of he great writers, Bob Utley and Leon Metz...

As many cowpokes know it is often more comfortable to move one's belt buckle aside when riding a horse. Here Brady has done just that. He is posed outdoors. Photo was taken ca. 1877. Sallie Chisum...

Nede, since you have registered some interest I'll show you some more photographs....again almost all are tintypes and tiny. Billy the Kid may not have been pure as the driven snow, but he did have...

Billy the Kid, who is the subject of the above tintype was never close to Viroqua, Wisconsin. So the photographer must have gone to him!

I found the attached tintype in Viroqua. Hmmm; do you...

It is funny how the trio picture came to light. A young women in Germany found it! She called someone who put her in touch with me. She told me how to find the photo on the Web and I looked it up....

Here Charlie is about 30 years old. He was married. He and Billy planned to partner in a ranch. The men who fought in the Lincoln County War were young men. Not unlike soldiers of today.

Along with the kid, Garrett captured three others. Before they surrendered he shot and killed one of Billy's best friends, a fellow named Charlie Bowdre. Early in the morning Charlie had stepped...
