According to The History Channel, Billy The Kid holed up in Fort Sumner, New Mexico, after escaping from death row on April 28, 1881. However, his lack of a low profile made it easy for Sheriff Pat Garrett and two deputies to pursue him. After a chance encounter at rancher Peter Maxwell’s home, Garrett caught Kid on July 14, 1881.
