Born in 1859 in New York, Billy the Kid gained fame as a Wild West legend and one of America’s most notorious outlaws. By the time he was shot down in 1881 at age 21 by Sheriff Pat Garett in Fort Sumner, New Mexico, he’d killed at least 12 men (he claimed it was more than 20). This 1878 photo is the only photo of Billy the Kid that’s known to exist.
