Billy the Kid, (1859-1881), alias William Bonney, was an infamous outlaw in Lincoln County, New Mexico. According to legend, he killed 21 men, one for each year of his life, though this is unlikely[1].
Early years
Billy was born Henry McCarty in a New York City slum. After his father died, Billy and his mother moved to Silver City, New Mexico, to look for a steady source of income [2]
