POTD: Billy the Kid Statue, Hico

This statue by James Rice of Rice Galleries is titled "Billy" and commemorates Billy the Kid. Located in Hico, the statue is tied to the Billy the Kid legend that thrives in the town. According to local legend, Billy the Kid wasn't killed in a shootout with lawman Pat Garrett but instead died in Hico many years later under the name "Brushy" Bill Roberts. There's even a Billy the Kid Museum downtown that explains more about the interesting story.
