Many people said he repeatedly bullied Henry Antrim aka Billy the kid and was shot while he was on top of and beating the kid. He was shot August 17,1877 and died the next day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-45354563254799318672021-07-13T10:56:54.336-05:002021-07-13T10:56:54.336-05:00My guess is Frank "Windy" Cahill was a b...My guess is Frank "Windy" Cahill was a blacksmith...not THE blacksmith at the fort, but he probably did blacksmith work as he could find it at the ranches and the military base. I also doubt he was black - I don't imagine just after the Civil War a black man would openly and continuously slap around, knock to the ground, mess up the hair and generally humiliate a much smaller, much younger, white teenager in a bar full of drunk white men with no consequences from those men.

At the time Billy the Kid was near Camp Grant, there were a cluster of stores that served the area of ranchers, locals, travelers and Camp Grant. Among these buildings was a stage stop. The shooting took place in front of one of the stores. It did not happen at Camp Grant. Billy the Kid took off immediately. He was a ranch hand. The man he killed was working in the area, some say a ranch hand also, some do not recall the victim's name. Camp Grant is not that far from Silver City, New Mexico by today's modern transportation. It would take a few days to get to Silver City, New Mexico by horse, especially since Silver City is a mountainous region near the Gila Wilderness. <br /><br />Today there are two buildings still standing where the shooting took place. The shooting is common knowledge by the locals whose families have been in the area for over one hundred years.<br /><br />Thank You. J.

That's one thing about the age we live in now--everything is pretty much recorded and KNOWN, through DNA or other proof that wasn't around back then. Thanks for another very interesting piece, Charlie. <br />CherylCheryl Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116526340220274282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-66384050182480451172014-05-01T10:58:08.177-05:002014-05-01T10:58:08.177-05:00A lot of detective work, there, gumshoe.
