Killings pile up until at last he’s jailed and sentenced to death. Garrett shot him, or did he? Colt bases his alternative views on Garrett’s account and a book by his deputy, John Poe. Devotees of the never-quite-resolved story will be much intrigued. Colt follows the script of myriad movies to treat the Kid’s famous escape but thereafter deviates from standard accounts.

There are hundreds of books written about William Bonney. We native New Mexicans - especially those of the southern half of the state - read them all. We were raised on the legend of "The Kid" and carry down through the years the opinions and stories of our parents and grandparents. Was he just a kid misunderstood or steered into crime by more hardened criminals, or was he himself a natural-born rustler and killer? Why didn't Governor Lew Wallace grant Billy a pardon with the rest of the Regulators once the 'Lincoln County War' was over? Did Pat Garrett indeed kill Billy Bonney July 1Paul Colt has done a wonderful job with this story Bonnye Reed Fry There are hundreds of books written about William Bonney.
