Billy the Kid was killed by Sheriff Pat Garrett at the home of Pete Maxwell. Maxwell inherited the large house from his land baron father Lucien Maxwell, who owned the largest single tract of US land held by an individual, approximately 2000 square miles. The large house (which was not part of the larger tract further north and west), was formerly the officer's quarters of Fort Sumner.
A couple more pics from the Fort Sumner cemetery.
The second one I find very interesting Bbarn, a Lucien Bonaparte in New Mexico, must be quite a story there.
