Henry Hill outlaw

Henry Hill (1833-1878) was a resident of Lincoln County, New Mexico during the Wild West. In 1878, he was one of the men who took part in the shooting of rancher John Tunstall at the start of the Lincoln County War, leading to Billy the Kid and the Lincoln County Regulators hunting him down to a river shack where he was spending time with prostitute Jessie Carver. Billy was ordered to take him alive, but he instead shot him as he relieved himself in the barn, left the arrest warrant in his mouth, and killed six of his friends in a shootout.
