"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.

From AudioFile:
Dime novels made Billy the Kid a legendary outlaw, but he was an actual person about whom the facts have become distorted. Michael Wallis pieces together newspaper accounts and other historical information to trace the Kids life, covering his childhood, his early years in Santa Fe, and his experience of the Lincoln County wars. Its a story that twists and turns, and Todd McLaren maintains control expertly as the story evolves from coming-of-age to banditry and violence. While Wallis acknowledges the hyperbole and hearsay that interfere with creating an accurate picture of the Kids life, his careful research and thoughtfulness show in every word.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Award-winning historian Michael Wallis has spent several years re-creating the rich, anecdotal saga of Billy the Kid (1859-1881), a deeply mythologized young man who became a legend in his own time and yet remains an enigma to this day. With the Gilded Age in full swing and the Industrial Revolution reshaping the American landscape, "the Kid," who was gunned down by Sheriff Pat Garrett in the New Mexico Territory at the age of twenty-one, became a new breed of celebrity outlaw. He arose amid the mystery and myth of the swiftly vanishing frontier and, sensationalized beyond recognition by the tabloids and dime-store romances of the day, emerged as one of the most enduring icons of the American West -- not to mention one of Hollywood\'s most misrepresented characters. This new biography, filled with dozens of rare images and period photographs, separates myth from reality and presents an unforgettable portrait of this brief and violent life. "This might be the best Billy the Kid book to date." Fritz Thompson, Albuquerque Journal This item is printed on demand.
