Billy the Kid
Award-winning historian Michael Wallis has spent several years recreating the rich, anecdotal saga of "Billy the Kid" (1859-1881), a deeply mythologised young man who became a legend in his own time and yet remains an enigma to this day. He arose amid the mystery and myth of the swiftly vanishing frontier and, sensationalised 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. 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.
This new biography separates myth from reality and presents an unforgettable portrait of this brief and violent life.
