Billy the Kid's Writings, Words, and Wit

Author, Gale Cooper's Billy the Kid's Writings, Words, and Wit, in hardcover and paperback, 592 pages, is revisionist history of Billy Bonney as a Lincoln County War freedom fighter against the Santa Fe Ring. Presented are his total writings and recorded words - including archival copies of his letters - which show his brilliance and his pardon bargain with Governor Lew Wallace, who betrayed him. He left his words in an affidavit, a deposition to a presidential investigator, a Lincoln County War "Regulator Manifesto," pardon pleas and other letters to Wallace, an interview recorded by Wallace, testimony to a military Court of Inquiry, a letter to an attorney about his hanging trial, newspaper interviews, and recorded reminiscences of his contemporary champions. Added is a new Billy the Kid letter authenticated by the author, which further establishes his quest for justice in the Lincoln County War against the Santa Fe Ring.
