This review is from: Demise of Billy the Kid, The (Mass Market Paperback)

I haven't finished this book yet, but am about 2/3 done. I didn't want to read it, but found nothing else around. I can hardly put it down! It tells the story of the Lincoln County War so convincingly from the viewpoint of H.H. Lomax, that I was driven to the internet to learn more about the actual events. The writing is very descriptive and entertaining. I wish I'd read this before we went through Lincoln Co., I'd have paid closer attention.

5.0 out of 5 stars Preston Lewis makes the old west come alive., January 10, 1999

This review is from: The Demise of Billy the Kid (Thorndike Western II) (Library Binding)

After reading one of Mr. Lewis's books I found it to be wonderful. If the West was anywhere near what he writes, life was an adventure. I have his whole collection.

Description from the book back cover:

William Bonney was a seventeen-year-old boy with a keen eye for the ladies and a quick hand with a gun. The Kid got sucked into the violence and corruption of Lincoln County and became a changed man. When another likeable fellow, a bartender turned lawman by the name of Garrett, shot him down, H. H. Lomax was there. He rode with Billy the Kid and knew all of the illustrious men of the time: Geronimo, Jesse James, Wyatt Earp, Wild Bill Hickok. Preston Lewis brings the wild west vividly to life in his depiction of one of the west's most notorious gunmen, Billy the Kid.
