About this product
Product Information
Robert M. Utley does what countless books, movies, television shows, musical compositions, and paintings have failed to do: he successfully strips off the veneer of legendry to expose the reality of Billy the Kid. Using previously untapped sources, he presents an engrossing story--the most complete and accurate ever--of a youthful hoodlum and sometime killer who found his calling in New Mexico's bloody power struggle known as the Lincoln County War. In unmasking the legend Utley also tells us much about our heritage of frontier vigilantism and violence.

Reviews
"It's certain to remain the authoritative biography that at last makes the Kid's life whole and understandable."-- San Francisco Chronicle, "A gripping, compelling yarn you can't afford to miss. This is the western book of the year--any year."-- Books of the Southwest, "Utley deftly slices away the veneer of legend to reveal the flesh-and-blood young man a tragic figure who was neither a mythical hero nor a ruthless killer, but a rather ordinary outlaw whose career did not live up to his reputation."-Michael Wallis, True West, "Historian Robert M. Utley has provided us with the best portrait to date 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 both for its careful separation of fact from fiction . . . and for its thoughtful treatment of the Kid as an American frontier symbol."-- Washington Post, "Noteworthy for its massive research, exciting reconstruction of several gun battles, and Utley's refusal to be suckered into the Kid-as-Hero myth."-- Kirkus Reviews, "Utley deftly slices away the veneer of legend to reveal the flesh-and-blood young man a tragic figure who was neither a mythical hero nor a ruthless killer, but a rather ordinary outlaw whose career did not live up to his reputation."--Michael Wallis, True West, "An excellent book. Cool scholarship reveals a factual Billy much scarier than the one of the legend."--Ian Frazier, author of The Great Plains
