Description
So richly detailed, you can almost smell the gunsmoke and the sweat of the saddles.
Hampton Sides, New York Times bestselling author of Ghost Soldiers
Billy the Kida.k.a. Henry McCarty, Henry Antrim, and William Bonneywas 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, New Mexico, deputies killed during the Kids brazen daylight escape from the courthouse jail on April 28, 1881.
For new sheriff Pat Garrett, an acquaintance of Billys, the chase was on. . . .
The first dual biography of the Kid and Garrett, To Hell on a Fast Horse re-creates the thrilling manhunt for the Wild Wests most iconic outlaw. Mark Lee Gardner digs beneath the myth to take a fresh look at these two men, their relationship, and their epic ride to immortality.
