The mlange of works dealing with personalities emerging from the
Lincoln County, New Mexico War have treated Fred Waite shabbily.
Although many writers have termed him the best friend of Billy the
Kid, he has never been properly researched. From the earliest work
Waite has been portrayed as a minor character drifting into Lincoln
just in time to get hired into a shooting war, and who then faded
into obscurity. The truth, as presented in this book, is far
different for Waite was a wealthy adventurer drawn into the
conflict by circumstance rather than a rogue hireling. It's even
probable he was an investor in John Tunstall's grand design for
dominating Southeast New Mexico. Moreover, after this adventure he
did not pale into the background. Rather, Fred Waite, the outlaw,
while battling Federal attempts to dismantle his people's
government, brightened into the dynamic and respected statesman F.
Tecumseh Waite. It's a remarkable story, one you owe to yourself to
read.
