BILLY THE KID - THE RIGHT HANDED GUN

Today's History's Tidbit - It is a well known fact that Billy the Kid was left handed. Or should I say a well known myth? The mistaken supposition that the Kid was left handed is based solely on the fact that a famous tintype of the Kid appears to portray him as left handed. However, because the image in a tintype is reversed, the photo actually proves that Billy the Kid was right handed.
