Hardback. Zustand: Good. Despite the countless books and films devoted to him, Billy the Kid remains one of the most elusive figures of the Old West. Now, award-winning western historian Frederick Nolan has scoured the published literature to offer this well-rounded compendium on the life and times of William H. Bonney.The Billy the Kid Reader contains some of the best articles on the Kid - including gems no longer in print. From the first dime novel that appeared shortly after his death to the research of today's historians, these writings bring Bonney's life into sharp focus.Nolan highlights two distinct schools of Billy the Kid studies: works of popularizers who tended to exaggerate his historical role, and the findings of grassroots researchers who have reassessed our perceptions of the Kid.
