Hey all, I've been following the story of Billy the Kid's demise and wanted to talk about something a bit different: the impact the whole episode must have had on Pete Maxwell and his family. Imagine being dragged into such a notorious situation just because you're friends with someone. I always wondered what Pete's exact feelings towards Billy were; did he know the kid was on borrowed time? And how did he feel about Garrett confronting Billy right there in his own room? Accounts suggest Pete was trying to keep things low-key after the shooting, but it must have been a lot to deal with. Delenia Maxwell, dressing Billy for his funeral, shows a level of care and kindness during such an emotionally charged time. I often think about the ripple effects these historical events create, impacting so many lives in ways we might not completely understand. Anyone else have thoughts on how the Maxwells coped with this ordeal or info on how their lives progressed afterward? It's fascinating to think about the untold stories around these well-documented events.
