Reflections on Billy The Kid

By Richard Arnon Mathews

Accessible, highly readable, and meticulously scripted, Reflections on Billy the Kid by Richard Arnon Mathews proves to be an authoritative and unique historical fiction on the myth, man, and legend that is Billy the Kid.

In fact, Billy's gregarious and undaunted demeanor in the face of tragedy spoke volumes of his views of life, death, and loyalty. Dramatic and ironic, this new in-depth approach shares historically accurate insights into his childhood and formative years then building into his fast paced and wily adulthood. Readers are treated to day-to-day events with Billy's fictionalized thoughts that clarify and define him, his motives, and his uncertainties between 1877 and 1881, when his death ended the Lincoln County Wars.
