I live in the region. Today is the anniversary of the death of Henry McCarty, aka, William H. Bonney Jr, aka, Henry Antrim, aka, Billy the Kid. He was killed by Lincoln County Sheriff Pat Garrett on 14-July-1881 at Ft. Sumner acting on intelligence that "The Kid" was still in the area after his escape from the Lincoln County Jail, where McCarty murdered, Lincoln Deputies James Bell and Robert Ollinger. McCarty had been sentenced to hang for the murder of Lincoln Sheriff William F. Brady and his deputy. McCarty was a member of "The Regulators", which fought on the side of the ranchers in what is known as the Lincoln County Cattle Wars during 1878. It actually took several years to finally bring McCarty to justice once and for all. And for most of that time he was a fugitive in the same region.
