Billy the Kid Letters
This photo provided by the Fray Angelico Chavez History Library shows a letter dated March 1881 written by Billy the Kid to New Mexico Gov. Lew Wallace. In a boon to history lovers and Billy the Kid buffs, this and another letter are now in a state history library and available for public viewing at Fray Angelico Chavez History Library in Santa Fe, N.M. The letters have been out of the public eye for a couple of decades. Acquired by the now-defunct Lincoln County Heritage Trust, they then belonged in turn to the Hubbard Museum in Ruidoso and the Lincoln State Monument. (AP photo/Fray Angelico Chavez History Library)
