From the publisher

Though born in Manhattan in 1859, William Henry McCarty, Jr.–also known as Billy the Kid–became a legend of the Wild West. Focusing on Billy as a horse thief, cattle rustler, and gunfighter, this stirring biography examines both the hard facts and what may be fiction about the infamous outlaw. His association with the Regulators, pursuit by Pat Garrett, and eventual demise are all included in this fast-paced volume. Historical photographs, intriguing quotations, and other appealing design features–including a Rogues’ Gallery of criminals–bring the era of the gunslinger to life.
