(29,396 posts)O. Henry's "Cisco Kid" originated in his short story "The Caballero's Way."
While O. Henry's "Cisco Kid" was supposedly a fictional character, in actuality he was based on a real person in the "wild west."
Who was that real person?

You'd think The Cisco Kid might have been based not on a well-known killer, but on, for example, the Mexican Vaqueros,
"The first real cowboys of Texas, vaqueros were Mexican cowboys who herded horses and cattle for hundreds of years." (Wikipedia)
The Cisco Kid originated in O. Henry's short story, "The Caballero's Way."
"In O. Henry's original story, the character is a 25-yesr-old desperado in the Texas-Mexico border country who bears little resemblance to later interpretations of the character.
He kills for sport, and is responsible for at least 18 deaths." (Wikipedia)
(I read somewhere that O. Henry once said that "The Cisco Kid" was based, in part, on John Wesley Hardin)

In the Next Generation Episode 'Relics' Scotty askes the holodeck computer to show him the Enterprise's bridge. From which TOS episode did the scene come from?
