Missing the barn by at least 8 Yards
Posted: Sun Jul 19, 2026 5:33 pm
It was common practice for many people born in the U.S.in 18th and 19th centuries (and in some other countries too) to have had two middle names.
That was one of several Red Flags that jumped out at me when I started doing research on Billy the Kid.
The "historians" (and quite a few other people "reporting" on his life) apparently didn't think it was important to draw attention to the fact he never was known to have had a middle name - and some still don't; but they are "missing the boat" or the 'side of the barn by at least 8 yards' - to coin a phrase.
In this forum on Billy, the above is just one of many discrepancies about the life of billy which will be brought out into the open for all to see ......or who care to.
Another sore point with many individuals who apparently have sided in with the so-called historians, is what really occurred with regard to the real parents of Billy, which will be highlighted here on TAB - All About Billy forum.
