Comments on: Only Known Authenticated Photograph of Billy the Kid http://www.retronaut.co/2011/06/only-known-authenticated-photograph-of-billy-the-kid/ The past is a foreign country.

The process used in taking the photo made the negative a positive without the normal 'flip'. Once I flipped it horizontally, it looked normal. Billy the Kid wasn't a leftie after all. First poster is correct. This photo has always looked odd to me until I flipped it. The process used in taking the photo made the negative a positive without the normal ‘flip’.

Now, kindly direct your attention to the murderer-obsessed source of Billy the Kid's bio: BBC, which, if I'm not mistaken, stands for British Broadcasting Corporation...?

New evidence suggests that he may not have killed as many men as they say he did. And he wasn't exactly some random theif. His actions were motivated and there was even talk of pardoning him as recently as a few years ago by the Governor of New Mexico. Those few short paragraphs describing him don't quite do his story justice. The true story is fascinating, and in the Old West, it was often hard to tell who were the "good guys" and who were the "bad guys". That goes for other Old West legends such as Doc Holiday, and the Earp brothers, among others. Myth and history are two seperate things and it is wise to understand this.

Tintype = no negative = image always appears flipped relative to reality. Earl: The “historians” appear to be full of it. Tintype = no negative = image always appears flipped relative to reality.

What about your Prince Philip who said "In the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, in order to contribute something to solve overpopulation." That makes Jack seem almost tame. http://www.prisonplanet.com/Pages/100604_prince_philip.html for reference. Forget Jack the Ripper.
