Like many good stories of the old West, this one begins in a
saloon. In 1914 in El Paso, Texas, two strangers strike up a
conversation at the bar--Bill Roberts, a real-life figure who died
in Hico, Texas, in 1950, and a former US Army scout whose brother
knew Roberts by another name: Billy the Kid. So begins The Gospel
According to Billy the Kid, a tale of the old New Mexico territory,
corrupt lawmen, honest ranchers, murder, betrayal, and the
explosive events of the Lincoln County War that sent young Billy
off seeking justice--and headed toward a bloody rendezvous with a
sheriff hired to track him down. In the saloon Roberts has us
imagine another story, told thirty-three years later over shots of
whiskey, about a young outlaw given a second chance to find
himself, to find peace, and to finally grow up and out from under
the shadow of his own infamy.
