Good article, if rather annoyingly it refers to England, when many of the ‘toffs’ were Scots.
Billy the Kid’s boss, Tunston, Tunstall(?) was a Scot baron from Glasgow, I think. I grew up with a kid whose grandfather went to this ranch for a job (at age 13) and when Tunstall was murdered, he worked his way back to New York. He said he lived with Billy the Kid (William Bonney) and Billy was crazy as a gila monster. Saw pictures of the area. Tunstall took in young boys and tried to instill good morals, character and a drive to work for a living, apparently.
