Only one photo of William H. Bonney, AKA Billy The Kid, was known to exist. But now a new photo has been found. Purchased a few years ago for $2 in a Fresno, CA shop, the photo has been authenticated and its value estimated at $5 million. Pretty good find.
And an amazing slice of American History. Below are two photos-one of Billy and friends playing croquet before a home in New Mexico in 1878 and a close up of Billy from the same photo. He was 17 at the time.
The photo and Billy will be the subject of a NatGeo special this Sunday 10-18-15. Can't wait to see it.
