The only known photo of Billy The Kid is this tintype. The image was reversed in the camera, hence the mistaken notion that he was left-handed. Billy normally wore a sombrero, but for some reason—perhaps a joke—he put on this dopey "slouch hat" for an itinerant photographer in 1879. Using computer-enhanced images, experts determined Billy was wearing a "keeper," or holster strap, rather than a "quick-draw rig." The implication is he wasn't a gunslinger.

Next to the courthouse, Billy filled Deputy Ollinger with buckshot.
The privy behind the courthouse was the catalyst for the Kid's great escape.
Billy's tombstone has been chipped and scarred by souvenir hunters. Stolen twice, it now resides in its own steel jail. The Kid was buried next to two friends, both also shot to death by Sheriff Garrett's posse.
