The popular legend of Pat Garrett portrays a stark divide between outlaws and lawmen. But the historical facts show that there was quite a close association between them in the western territory. Big Dick Brewer worked as a Regulator, side by side with Billy the Kid and others. Here we see Sheriff Brady and Deputy Brewer not long before their deaths in the line of duty.
