Billy the Kid in Santa Fe, Book One: Young Billy: Wild West History, Outlaw Legends, and the City at the End of the Santa Fe Trail (A Non-fiction Trilogy)

Did Billy the Kid ice skate?  . . . play baseball?  . . . tell ghost stories?Legend says this notorious outlaw gunned down twenty-one men--one for each year of his short life--before Sheriff Pat Garrett ended that life in a darkened New Mexico bedroom on July 14, 1881.
But what was Billy like as a youngster in Santa Fe?  - How did he spend his days, and his nights?  - Did he encounter other residents who would figure significantly in later chapters of his brief life?  - And what was New Mexico's territorial capital like in Billy's day?  - How did Santa Fe's frontier character and its Hispanic culture shape the development of this future desperado?  
Historical facts and fanciful legends swirl around Billy the Kid's early days--and around the City at the End of the Santa Fe Trail--in Young Billy, Lynn Michelsohn's first book of the non-fiction trilogy, Billy the Kid in Santa Fe. Young Billy includes - over 40 photographs, drawings, and maps - two appendices - an extensive index.
