Best Answer

Billy the Kid killed only four men. Two (Windy Cahill and Joe Grant) in self defense; and two more (Jim Bell and Bob Olinger) when he escaped jail. He did not kill 21 people. That myth is a result of all the dime novels published about him and the Lincoln County war in New Mexico.

Is copland's billy the kid a ballet?

Yes. Billy the Kid was premiered in 1938 in Chicago and choreographed by Eugene Loring.I performed this ballet many years ago. It's one of the only times I heard someone speak on stage. Billy says, "Who is it?" in Spanish. Which apparently he said in real life and that's what got him killed by Pat Garrett.
