Billy the Kid

Mesilla, United States


A good place to begin: Old Mesilla, where Billy the Kid was convicted of killing Sheriff Brady and sentenced to hang. The courthouse still stands on the Plaza.

Nearby is the town of Las Cruces. Pat Garrett who eventually killed the Kid was himself shot and killed just outside of the Las Cruces city limits.

The location is still marked by a memorial constructed by Pat's son:
