{"product_id":"pat-f-garretts-the-authentic-life-of-billy-the-kid","title":"Pat F. Garrett's the Authentic Life of Billy the Kid","description":"More than twelve decades after Billy the Kidâ s death in 1881, books, movies, and essays about this western outlaw are still popular. And they all go back to one source: The Authentic Life of Billy, the Kid, published in 1882 by the man who killed Billy, Sheriff Pat Garrett.\nFrederick Nolan, an authority on the American Southwest, examines the legends introduced by The Authentic Life and shows how Garrettâ s book is responsible for misconceptions about the Kidâ s early life and his short, violent career. This edition, complete with the original text, corrects errors, amplifies Garrettâ s narrative, and elucidates the causes and course of the Lincoln County War in New Mexico during the 1870s. Nolan provides an introduction that reappraises the last, fatal meeting of Garrett and Billy the Kid, as well as a postscript about the sheriffâ s snakebitten life following the moment that made him famous.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0806132272\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0806132272.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Nolan, Frederick W.|Garrett, Pat F.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
