Billy the Kid and Ned Kelly: A Double Biography The lives of two notorious outlaws have become shrouded in myth and legend. Robert M. Utley sets out to uncover the truth behind their stories, revealing the parallel courses of Billy the Kid and Ned Kelly. Born on opposite sides of the globe, these young men lived by the gun, were executed while still in their twenties, and remain compelling figures in the folklore of their homelands. Utley draws sharp portraits of both men, recounting their adventurous exploits with accuracy and appeal. From Billy's escape from indictment to Ned's outrage against British colonial authority, Utley illuminates the worlds in which they lived. By comparing the lives and legacies of these two outlaws, Utley discovers profound differences despite their shared fates, shedding light on the complexities of their stories.
