Fun Fact: Henry McCarty (reportedly November 23, 1859-July 14, 1881), better known as Billy the Kid, was a 19th-century American frontier outlaw and gunman who participated in the Lincoln County War. According to legend, he killed over twenty men, but he is generally accepted to have killed four. He was relatively unknown during his own lifetime, but was catapulted into legend the year after his death when his killer, Sheriff Pat Garrett, along with co-author M.A. "Ash" Upson, published a sensationalistic biography titled The Authentic Life of Billy, the Kid. Since then, he has grown into a symbolic figure of the American Old West.
