But
this grim and gritty era in American history left us with far more
questions than answers, and even those who spend their lives studying
the era have a hard time agreeing on things like- Did Butch Cassidy ever
return to the U.S.? Did Sheriff Pat Garrett actually kill Billy The
Kid? and What happened to Pancho Villa's head?
Craig S. Baker interviewed Old West historian and treasure hunter W.C.
Jameson about a year ago to get his take on some of the most enduring
unsolved mysteries from the Wild West.
Jameson's
theories challenge "traditionalist historian" views by proposing that
Billy The Kid survived the Garrett encounter and actually returned to
Texas in 1950 confessing his crimes.
He
also says Butch Cassidy wasn't killed by the Bolivian military after
all, a fact which is supported by Butch's friends and family members who
claim to have been visited by him after he'd supposedly died.
But what about poor Pancho Villa's head? Nobody knows the answer to that one, not even an old cowboy like W.C. Jameson.
