Scoville Folklore: Billy the Kid - friend of the oppressed? (20) RE: Folklore: Billy the Kid - friend of the oppressed? 10 Apr 07


Key words being "popular" and "imagination".

I have to take it for granted that none of these much-romanticized outlaws were undiluted evil, but they were thugs. Ever read about the Earps? Gangsters, pure and simple. I'm sure they all did nice things for people once in awhile, when they were really riding high, but I've yet to encounter a single one of them about whom the Robin Hood rumors could be convincingly substantiated.
