Plot Summary:
|
On April 28, 1881, just days from being hanged for murder, 21-year-old Henry McCarty, alias Billy the Kid, outfoxed his jailors and electrified the country with the last in a long line of daring escapes. Just a few weeks later, he was finally gunned down next to an zealous sheriff, and the felling of at one of the most opprobrious criminals of the age made headlines across the country.Chief demonized by the lawman who killed him, the Kid was in the end mythologized by a never-ending series of dime store romances and majuscule-cover dramas. But with each telling, Billy the Kid's legitimate vers... ion was advance obscured. Born to exhausted Irish immigrants, the Kid led a hardscrabble, itinerant life that became harder unmoving when his mother died of tuberculosis. He came of age in a felonious corner of Supplementary Mexico, caught in the halfway point of a innumerable-centuries-enduring Irish-English conflict playing forbidden on the Southwest plains. But without thought his reckless savagery, the Kid's witchcraft with Mexican elegance, his flare for Spanish, and his disdain appropriate for the Anglo authorities made him a paladin of sorts to the Hispanic community, who hid him when the law came looking and mourned him most when he was gone.
