    “as an adolescent... he stole cheese... and got arrested.” don’t know why but that makes me laugh so much.

      Well it's kinda true. Billy's first arrest was for stealing food when he was 16 (though, I can't say if it was for sure cheese or not, lol). A few months later some clothing and a gun which had been stolen from a Chinese owned laundry, were found in a room he had rented by the land lady and she turned him in. He was arrested for theft/possession of stolen property (although Billy is not the one who committed the robbery). But because there were no judges in town he had to wait 3 months in jail for a traveling judge to arrive in the territory, so he decided "eff that". And, because he was so thin (being a "kid"), he was able to squeeze through the cell bars and escape (he actually did this several times in different jails).
      And that's how the whole legend of Billy the Kid as an "outlaw" began.

    Billy the Kid was from Brooklyn. He relocated out West with his mother who later died. So Billy became an orphan.
    He was an outstanding gunman, poured all his money into practicing how to shoot.
    There was a lot of business competition in cattle at the time and place he lived, and after a period of stealing cattle he became a hired gun for one rancher after being captured. This relationship was very important to him, the rancher became like a father to Billy.
    It was when the rancher was murdered by a competitor that Billy went on a killing spree of revenge, and that’s why he became known as this famous gunfighter who took down powerful men who exploited the poor.

      That’s actually a common misconception, the famous picture that made everyone think he was left-handed came out backwards because it wasn’t properly developed. Firearm experts say what gives it away that the picture was backwards is the loading gate on his Winchester rifle appears to be on the wrong side

    From a town known as Wheeling West Virginia
    Rode a boy with a six-gun in his hand
    And his daring life of crime
    Made him a legend in his time
    East and West of the Rio Grande
    Well he started with a bank in Colorado
    In the pocket of his vest, a Colt he hid
    And his age and his size took the teller by surprise
    And word spread of Billy the Kid
    Well he never traveled heavy
    Yes, he always rode alone
    And he soon put other older guns to shame
    And he never had a sweetheart
    And he never had a home
    But the cowboy and the rancher knew his name

    Actually Pat Garret left a wake of dead innocent people trying to pass them off as Billy the Kid. Even when he allegedly got billy, he shot that body in the face with a shotgun and was unrecognizable. Hence the legends of Billy faking his death. The question is, did Pat help Billy fake his death, or did Billy keep getting away, driving Pat mad to the point where he is killing innocent people?
