8. Billy The Kid
Although there is much speculation about whether this photo is an authentic photo of Billy the kid, many believe that there is no way it’s anyone else. Billy the kid was born Henry McCarty and he is best known for being a wild west gunman, who was never afraid to pull his pistol. Billy was an outlaw that participated in the territorial Lincoln Couty War, during which he personally killed eight people. He escaped jail and was a federal fugitive after killing three officers and evaded capture for more than two months while multiple states published stories about his crimes. On July 14th, 1881 he was shot and “killed”, yet rumours circulated for years that he was still alive and many people claimed to be him.
