On this episode of Our American Stories, Billy the Kid didn’t live past 21, but his name still echoes through American folklore. In a lawless land, he became the face of rebellion: part folk hero, part criminal, and all mystery. Historian Roger McGrath traces the true story of the young drifter behind the legend — from his first brush with the law to the bullet that ended it all.
