The young outlaw known as Billy the Kid spent the winter of
1880-1881 in Santa Fe-trying desperately to get out of its jail. He
hired lawyers. He wrote the governor. He even tried digging his way
out Nothing worked. Billy only "escaped" the "safest jail in the
Territory" in March 1881, when deputies finally escorted him to the
railroad station for a trip to southern New Mexico-where a jury of
his peers waited to convict him of murder. But just where was this
invincible Santa Fe jail? Today, in Santa Fe, two plaques mark the
spot, or rather, two competing spots . . . Lynn Michelsohn tracks
down historical sources to identify the long-disputed location of
Billy the Kid's Santa Fe jail and to provide this brief glimpse of
life in the Wild West on the Southwestern Frontier. (10,000 words;
16 photographs, drawings, and maps) Recommended for Western history
buffs, Billy the Kid aficionados, and anyone who loves Santa Fe.
