The author did a fine job in reviewing Billy the Kid (William Bonney) and Pat Garrett, and intertwining their stories in "the epic chase to justice in the Old West," and of course their inevitable final shooting. We find that Billy is more than the killing, goofy kid that is portrayed in the movies and historical photos, and Pat has other sides to him besides the persistent, hardworking lawman. I believe that author Gardner brought the two to life through his extensive research and good writing. I like Old West stories, and this one is even more enjoyable because of the facts and truthfulness. The book has a wonderful index and a thorough list of resources. The old black-and-white photos are a nice touch - always fun to attach a name to a photo.
