Billy The Kid Burial Site in Fort Sumner, New Mexico

This picture shows the tombstone of Billy the Kid (born William Henry McCarthy, Jr) as well as some of his pals.  It is encased in iron mesh to protect the site.  According to the marker by the site, twice this tombstone has been stolen only to have been recovered later once in Granbury, Texas and the other in Huntington Beach, California.
There is of course a great deal of myths surrounding Billy The Kid.
