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.
