Legend has it that famous outlaw Billy the Kid had k**led as many as 26 men by the time he died, aged just 21 years old, although the total seems more likely to have been under 10. While there’s conflicting information about Billy the Kid’s true name and origins, he is widely reported to have been excellent with a gun. It seems most likely that he was born in an Irish district of New York City on November 23, 1859 and then settled in New Mexico in 1873, after being moved around the country by his mother.
In 1877 – following his engagement in criminal activity such as livestock rustling – Billy the Kid was hired by a wealthy English cattle rancher named John Tunstall in Lincoln County, New Mexico. The Kid’s job was to protect Tunstall and watch over his animals. And he was known for his lightning-fast draw, his lithe frame, and his readiness to fight with his fists if necessary. The Kid is said to have thought highly of his boss, and the two had a mutual respect. So when Tunstall was murdered in cold blood, Billy vowed to exact revenge on the k**lers.
Billy the Kid’s favorite gun is believed to have been a .44 caliber Colt “Peacemaker,” and he became notorious due to his involvement in the Lincoln County War. Much violence and many escapades ensued, and on July 14, 1881, he was shot and k**led by Sheriff Pat Garrett.

Because of this picture it was said he was lefthanded. It is believed, however, that the negative was reversed and he was in fact righthanded. Also, he was able to escape handcuffs because he had large wrist but small hands.

I'm pretty good with drawing an inside straight. Ask BB, as he's fallen prey to my draw numerous times.

I wonder if Billy the Kid was as bad a poker player as Slatten is?
Who knows maybe that was his demise to many IOU's outstanding.

Yeah, I beat you at poker countless times, with little to show after my initial winnings other than your worthless IOUs.
