"So richly detailed, you can almost smell the gunsmoke and the
sweat of the saddles."-Hampton Sides, New York Times bestselling
author From Spur Award-winning author Mark Lee Gardner, his classic
dual biography of Billy the Kid and Sheriff Pat Garrett, detailing
Garrett's riveting chase of the notorious bandit-now updated with a
new afterword covering new developments in the Billy the Kid story.
Billy the Kid-a.k.a. Henry McCarty, Henry Antrim, and William
Bonney-was a horse thief, cattle rustler, charismatic rogue, and
cold-blooded killer. A superb shot, the Kid gunned down four men
single handedly and five others with the help of cronies. Two of
his victims were Lincoln County, NM, deputies, killed during the
Kid's brazen daylight escape from the courthouse jail on April 28,
1881. After dspensing with his guards and filing through the chain
securing his leg irons, The Kid danced a macabre jig on the jail's
porch before riding away on a stolen horse as terrified
townspeople-and many sympathizers-watched. For new sheriff, Pat
Garrett, the chase was on . . . To Hell on a Fast Horse recreates
the thrilling manhunt for the Wild West's most iconic outlaw. It is
also the first "dual biography" of the Kid and Garrett, two
larger-than-life figures who would not have become the stuff of
legend without the other. Drawing on voluminous primary sources and
a wealth of published scholarship, Mark L. Gardner digs beneath the
myth to take a fresh look at these two men, their relationship, and
what they would come to mean to a public enamored of a violent
national past.
