They stumbled upon a diary of Sally Chisum, in which she described a cattle drive featuring all the players in the photo as well as a wedding that took place between Charlie Bowdre (seated on the horse in the photo) and his wife Manuella

Billy the Kid: New Evidence

October 18 Sunday,  NGCWD TV 9-11 PM Pacific time

“The historical importance of a photograph of Billy the Kid alongside known members of his gang and prominent Lincoln County citizens is incalculable - this is perhaps the single most compelling piece of Western Americana that we have ever seen,” Kagin's President Donald Kagin said, in the press release."

But what if the other picture is the wrong person as some think, that would mean this one is also the wrong person.

I refer to PT Barnum. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Well, I watched the Nat. Geo. 2 hr. special on the photo and the evidence is indeed overwhelming. Good show.

Well of course, they wanted it to be that way.  I decided not to waste 2 hours of my life watching it,  even if it is the same guy there is really no real proof the other one is him also, it's just been said that it is for so many years.

Howdy,
It would seem to me that this photo dating from 1878 to 1883 of someone resembling Bonney taken at a site located by terrain and  the remains of the foundation of a cabin on the Turnstall ranch and containing images that resemble Sally Chisum and two of the regulators would reinforce the authenticity of the Pat Garret photo.
