As a member of what the U.S. government called the "SI band", the Kid developed important skills and became a famous and respected scout and later a notorious renegade active in the borderlands of the U.S. states of Arizona and New Mexico in the late 19th and possibly the early 20th centuries.
His exact date of birth is unknown, but he is believed to have been born sometime in the 1860s. His year of death is given as either November 11, 1900 or September 7, 1907, but some New Mexico cattle ranchers claimed he was alive until the 1930s. The Apache Kid Wilderness in New Mexico is named after him. The Apache Kid character in Marvel Comics was also named after him, but otherwise has no connection.
