Billy the Kid’s old ally recalls famous gangs and dances
Jesus Silva, now 85, recounts helping Billy the Kid after a Lincoln sheriff incident, hiding him near Fort Sumner, and disguising him as a girl with the Anaya family. He recalls dances where Billy was whipped but showed respect to an elderly fighter, and affirms their long friendship and Kid’s antics.
