Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
According to legend, Billy the Kid killed 21 men, stole from wealthy cattle barons to give to the poor, and wooed just about every seorita in the American Southwest. Acclaimed historical novelist Vernon digs deeply into the historical record to offer a portrait of this outlaw's dramatic and violent life.
This novel about Billy the Kid centers on the Lincoln County War, a conflict between a ring of Irishmen and John Tunstall, an English newcomer trying to break their grip on the town. Billy signed on with Tunstall, and when he was murdered, a previously obscure hired gun became Billy the Kid.
