Description
Billy the Kid: A Life of Legend and Mystery The legend of Billy the Kid has endured for over a century, with many believing it began with his death in 1881 or his infamous jailbreak in 1881. However, the truth is more complex, and it is only in recent years that a comprehensive and detailed account of his life has been compiled. James B. Mills' biography is the result of a twenty-year quest to uncover the complete story of Billy the Kid, exploring his origins, family, orphanhood on the frontier, the Lincoln County War, his relationships with Governor Lew Wallace and New Mexicans of Spanish descent, and his outlaw exploits. Through meticulous research, Mills sheds light on the often-disputed aspects of Billy the Kid's life, including his family's movements from New York into the Southwest and his character. This book is a testament to the lasting influence of the press of the 19th century, and it raises questions about who the person known as Billy the Kid really was. With this biography, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the man behind the legend, and the story of Billy the Kid is finally told in all its complexity.
