The Orchard:
This Shows the trio of lawmen who hunted down Billy the Kid. On the night of July 14, 1881, the men had arrived on the outskirts of Fort Sumner, NM, a favorite hangout for Billy.
Sheriff Pat Garrett wanted to have a talk with the owner of the fort, Pete Maxwell. The men approached the fort's buildings silently, at one point entering a peach orchard. From the orchard they went to the home of Maxwell. Garrett stationed his two deputies outside and went in and woke Maxwell. It was while Garrett was talking to Maxwell that the Kid entered the dark room and Garrett was able to kill him with the "shot in the dark" |
