Answer 1

6'3
Perhaps

Answer 2

I don't know the basis of the information but here is a quote from the site about the "Young guns" film.

"As far as whether or not Billy the Kid and Pat Garrett were actually friends, I think that all depends on who you believe. Garrett himself in his book "The Authentic Life of Billy the Kid" said he knew the kid only casually. Pats son Jarvis supposedly said they were only aquantances. However Paulital Maxwell claimed they were very close friends. She said around Fort Sumner they were known as Juan Largo and Little Casino, because of the height difference between Garrett (6'4) and Billy (5'7). It is my opinion that the two were never what you would call friends, but were very well aquanted with one another even before Garrett became sheriff of Lincoln county."

Answer 3

A tall man, he was referred to by locals as "Juan Largo" or "Big John." Born in Alabama and raised in Louisiana, Patrick Floyd Jarvis Garrett, a tall, thin angular man with prominent cheek bones,well over six feet tall, came west in 1869, when he was nineteen, to take part in the slaughter of the buffalo on the High Plains of Texas. He left that trade in 1878. The great buffalo herds of the Southern Plains had been decimated. The Comanches had plundered his hunting camp. He moved to Fort Sumner, in eastern New Mexico, where he would marry Elizabeth Garrett’s mother, Apolonaria Gutierrez.

He was hanging w/ Teddy Roosevelt,until he pissed him off by introducing him to a man named Tom Powers. It caused bad publicity for Roosevelt. So Teddy severed all ties w/Garret. Garret was becoming poor, he began to drink and gamble heavily. He became friends w/ a man Adamson,who was going to buy land from him. they were going on a trip and a man named Jesse Wayne Brazel met up w/ them. Apparently Brazel and Garret got in and argument and Brazel shot and killed Garret. There has been speculation on who really killed Garret, he made several enemies over the last years of his life. Brazel was tried and convicted of killing Garret. His grave site along w/ other family members is in Las Cruces in the Masonic Cemetary
