À propos de cet audio

 Reputed to have killed his first man at the age of 12, William Bonney went on to gun his way into Western legend as Billy the Kid. When he was finally shot himself at the age of 21, the Kid was famous throughout the country as the boy who, so he boasted, had killed a man for every year of his life.

This is the story of William Bonney as told by the lawman who ended his notorious career. While explaining the public sympathy that the citizens of the Southwest often accorded youths like Bonney, Garrett challenges the glorified legends of the Kid, offering instead the more genuine story of a young, reckless cowhand who became a hired gun.

Combining the best elements of eyewitness history with the dramatic flair of a great western novel, this is the clearest account we have of the meteoric career of a man some thought of as a murdering fiend, and others as the Robin Hood of the Southwest.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Was Billy a true Western hero fighting for justice in New Mexico's Lincoln County War or simply a wacko who enjoyed killing? Find out here." (Library Journal)

So many incredible moments of in this book that could have been used as exiting action scenes on the movies (to be fair, a few was). Plus, even though the book is written by Pat Garrett himself, he never brags nor portrays himself as a infallible hero. Instead, he emphasizes how fascinating was Billy and all the layers of that complex anti hero (?). Mandatory for Western fans.

A reliable and yet fantastic testimony.
