Billy the Kid

Billy the Kid, born Henry McCarty, was a notorious American outlaw and gunslinger during the late 1800s, primarily in the Southwest. Known for his quick draw and multiple gunfights, he became a legendary figure in the Old West. He was involved in cattle rustling, fights, and had a reputation for escaping law enforcement. His life was marked by violence and notoriety, culminating in his death at age 21, allegedly by sheriffs. Despite his brief life, Billy the Kid remains a symbol of Old West frontier justice and resilient outlaw folklore.
