Pat Garrett, the sheriff of Lincoln County, New Mexico, claimed
responsibility for the death of the notorious outlaw, Billy the Kid.
This charge would not be his first lie, nor would it be his last, but it
would be, by far, the most prominent. In a departure from the
overwhelming literature that takes lawman Pat Garrett's story--that he
killed The Kid in a happenstance meeting in an isolated cabin--as
historical truth, W.C. Jameson presents evidence to the contrary.
