Being interested in history of the South West focusing on TX, NM, and AZ, I was mildley surprised when reading "Trail Drives of Texas" (an old book, copy write 1935), one of the guest writers told a story of himself, Pat Garret and others, having Billy the Kid surrounded and, were forced to let him go!
The incident happened sometime before his final meeting with Sheriff/Marshal Garret.
Does anyone know of a reference to this?

Part of the problem with the Old West is that stories can never be fully corroborated, so anything will fly

in general, that's what make Billy the Kid a legend
every one can add a story , there is too little known to verify it
sorry I couldn't be more helpful
