The Trail of Billy the Kid Robert Edmond Alter

Here is the exciting biography of one of America's greatest folk heroes, said to have killed 21 men-- one fo each year of his life. The trail of Billy the Kid, traced against the backdrop of one of the bloodiest range wars in the history of the Old West, recreates both the facts and the legend. It follows Billy from the time his family moved out West to the final showdown when his one time friend shot him in cold blood. This is the masterful saga of a boy who might have been one of the bloodiest killers of the West -- or who might have been just a victim of circumstance.
