Inventing Billy the Kid

by Stephen Tatum

'Tatum...does a masterful job of cutting through the many obscurities and complexities of the events surrounding the Kid's brief life. He manages to demonstrate convincingly the manner in which the 'invented' Kid is logical product of the cultural preoccupation so the age that produces him. This is probably the best book on Billy the Kid produced to date.'
