Title: The Authentic Life of Billy, The Kid
Description: Hankering for a mostly true tale about the hard-living desperadoes who inhabited America's desert Southwest in the mid-1800s? This biography of the ill-fated gunslinger Billy, the Kid was written by Pat Garrett, the sheriff who shot Billy down. Although some historians now question the veracity of some of the self-aggrandizing bluster Garrett and his ghostwriter included in the book, The Authentic Life of Billy, The Kid is a wonderful read for aficionados of the anything-goes Wild West.
