BillyThe Kid; A Short and Violent Life; Robert M. Utley
Historian Robert M. Utley has provided us the best portrait to deate of the real Kid, from his shrouded origins in New York City to the escalating criminal career that ended only when lawman Pat Garrett surprised him with a bullet . . . Utley's book is valuable for for its careful separation of fact from fiction . . . and for its thoughtful treatment of the Kid as an American frontier symbol. A gripping, compelling yarn you can's afford to miss. This is the western book of the year - any year. Noteworthy for its massive research, exciting reconstruction of several gun battles, and Utley's refusal to be suckered into the Kid-as-Hero myth. A saga as thrilling as it is meticulously documented. TPB, 302pgs |
