Description

Ever since Billy the Kid was shot by Pat Garrett on a summer night in New Mexico in 1881, historians and storytellers have been spinning his legend, not always agreeing on whether he was the most romantic of western desperadoes or a rat-faced wimp. Now Jon Tuska tells all that can truly be known about the Kid's turbulent life and early death. He points out seventy-five errors of fact or omission in Garrett's influential 1882 biography and goes on to spell out the fantasies about Billy the Kid perpetuated by scores of historians (Charles Siringo, Walter Noble Burns), novelists (Emerson Hough, Zane Grey), and filmmakers (King Vidor, Howard Hughes). His stylish book, scrupulously researched, is the last word on an outlaw who still rides toward reckoning in public image -- Back cover.
