On April 28, 1881, Billy the Kid escaped from the Lincoln County jail in Lincoln, New Mexico. A short excerpt from the article:
"On the evening of April 28, 1881 as he was climbing the steps returning him to his cell, the Kid made a mad dash, grabbed a six-shooter and shot his guard. Hearing the shots, a second guard ran from across the street only to be gunned down by the Kid standing on the balcony above him. Mounting a horse, William Bonney galloped out of town and into history."
