Pat Garrett shot Billy the Kid in Pete Maxwell's darkened bedroom at old Fort Sumner in July 1881, and the Kid was buried in the fort cemetery beside two friends under a shared stone reading PALS. The footstone has been stolen twice, recovered from Texas and California, and the grave now sits inside a welded steel cage, which is somehow the most honest monument the outlaw myth ever got.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
