About this ebook

"This might be the best Billy the Kid book to date." —Fritz Thompson, Albuquerque Journal

In this revisionist biography, award-winning historian Michael Wallis re-creates the rich anecdotal saga of Billy the Kid (1859–1881), a young man who became a legend in his time and remains an enigma to this day. In an extraordinary evocation of the legendary Old West, Wallis demonstrates why the Kid has remained one of our most popular folk heroes. Filled with dozens of rare images and period photographs, Billy the Kid separates myth from reality and presents an unforgettable portrait of this brief and violent life.

This is the most I've read about that is as accurate as it is. This is an amazing read. And just for kicks and giggles, Billy should've been pardoned as he wanted. I can't imagine taking my last breath knowing that he wasn't. It was very important to him and he should've been heard and then pardoned.

Not what I was expecting. Very drawn out and scattered at times. Unfortunately, not one i would recommend.
