Can't Make A Hero Out of Him | A Sophie Poe Interview

Our friend Mark Lee Gardner shared an audio clip with us consisting of a nine-minute interview with Sophie Poe about Billy the Kid and Pat Garrett! Mr. Gardner graciously gave us the permission to share the clip he sent over. The clip is from a 2-record vinyl LP from 1963 called "The Badmen." According to the label on the record, the interview was conducted by Fred Mazulla and W.T. Moyers It is always so amazing to hear the voice of someone who was THERE! Sophie Poe was married to John W. Poe. She knew Pat Garrett and many other principle players in Lincoln County. She heard first hand accounts from the lips of the people who were there, and we get to hear HER voice! Many thanks again to Mark Lee Gardner for bringing this to our attention!
