This may be the last unexamined aspect of the lifeand legend of Billy the Kid. Author Lee Priestley and artist Marquita Peterson believe they have discovered why Billy the Kid is still remembered and celebrated more than one hundred years after his death. Lee Priestley skillfully weaves the story from the letters and tattered memories of those who know the legend best. Marquita Peterson's nineteenth century artistic style brings those stories to life in more than a dozen illustrations.

Review
Lee Priestley has spent a lifetime talking with old-timers and corresponding with the Kid's friends (and sometimes his enemies). As one of the Southwest's finest storytellers, she has resurrected Billy, providing him with a new life and readers with a fresh insight. The Kid emergees not from a dust-littered page, but from the lips and memories of his contemporaries. -- Leon C. Metz, author "Pat Garrett: The Story of a Western Lawman
