Billy the Kid
Billy the Kid didn’t live very long, but he undoubtedly made an impact. Albeit not very positive, he was an outlaw of the Old West who began his life of law-breaking as a teenager. Billy found himself orphaned at the age of 15, which led him into this life.
Before he reached full adulthood, Billy, born Henry McCarty, was already a federal fugitive with wanted posters referring to him as “Billy the Kid.” Wayward young men sometimes have a way of coming around, but before he could mend his ways, McCarty was killed in a gunfight and died at the age of 21.
