A central character in legends and histories of the Old West, Billy the Kid rivals such western icons as Jesse James and General George Armstrong Custer for the number of books and movies his brief, violent life inspired. Billy the Kid: A Reader’s Guide introduces readers to the most significant of these written and filmed works. Compiled and written by a respected historian of the Old West and author of a masterful new biography of Billy the Kid, this reader’s guide includes summaries and evaluations of biographies, histories, novels, and movies, as well as archival sources and research collections. Surveying newspaper articles, books, pamphlets, essays, and book chapters, Richard W. Etulain traces the shifting views of Billy the Kid from his own era to the present. Etulain’s discussion of novels and movies reveals a similar shift, even as it points out both the historical inaccuracies and the literary and cinematic achievements of these works. A brief section on the authentic and supposed photographs of the Kid demonstrates the difficulties specialists and collectors have encountered in locating dependable photographic sources. This discerning overview will guide readers through the plethora of words and images generated by Billy the Kid’s life and legend over more than a century. It will prove invaluable to those interested in the demigods of the Old West—and in the ever-changing cultural landscape in which they appear to us.

Even before he was shot and killed in 1881, Billy the Kid’s charisma and murderous career were generating stories that belied his brief life—and that only multiplied, growing to legendary proportions after his death at age twenty-one. In Thunder in the West, Richard W. Etulain takes the true measure of Billy, the man and the legend, and presents the clearest picture yet of his life and his ever-shifting place and presence in the cultural landscape of the Old West. Billy the Kid—born Henry McCarty in 1859, and also known as William H. Bonney—emerges from these pages in all his complexity, at once a gentleman and gregarious companion, and a thief and violent murderer. Tapping new depths of research, Etulain traces Billy’s short life from his mysterious origins in the East through his wanderings in New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas. As we move from his peripatetic early years through the wild West to his fatal involvement in the Lincoln County Wars, we see the impressionable boy give way to the conflicted young man and, finally, to the opportunistic and often amoral outlaw who was out for himself, for revenge, and for whatever he could steal along the way. Against this deftly drawn portrait, Etulain considers the stories and myths spawned by Billy’s life and death. Beginning with the dime novels featuring Billy the Kid, even during his lifetime, and ranging across the myriad newspaper accounts, novels, and movies that alternately celebrated his outlaw life and condemned his exploits, Etulain offers a uniquely informed view of the changing interpretations that have shaped and reshaped the reputation of this enduring icon of the Old West. In his portrayal, Billy the Kid lives on, not as a cut-throat desperado or a young charmer but as both—hero and villain, myth and man, fully realized in this twenty-first-century interpretation.

Joy Of The Birds written by Gale Cooper and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2012 with categories.
Joy of the Birds is a milestone in the literature of Billy the Kid. It is arguably the definitive revisionist telling of his story by one of that history's experts. Based on research utilizing 40,000 pages of archival documents and books, input from more than 300 consultants, and recreation of the scenes at the actual historic sites, Joy of the Birds is a virtual world. As docufiction, it ends 130 years of New Mexico Santa Fe Ring cover-up: a cabal of land-grabbing robber baron politicians, lawmen, and thugs, which precipitated the Lincoln County War freedom fight. Central to that rebellion was Billy Bonney, outlawed by those victorious enemies as "Billy the Kid." He had to die. The truths he testified to, could have tumbled the presidency Rutherford B. Hayes. Joy of the Birds is also a Romeo and Juliet story: with its star-crossed romance of homeless drifter, Billy Bonney, and young Paulita Maxwell, the richest heiress in New Mexico Territory. On July 14, 1881, in her brother's bedroom in the family mansion, Billy was killed by betrayal and by the hand of Sheriff Pat Garrett. Paulita, pregnant with Billy's child, would have heard the fatal shot. Joy of the Birds is also a mythic hero journey in the cosmic battle of good and evil. Billy Bonney's astounding escapes from Ring clutches and death, and his moral transformations in his fight against Ring injustices, yield his comprehension of a wise woman's lesson of "joy of the birds," told to him in childhood. Like the birds, one can fly and fly without fear, because there are millions of moments to be alive, only one of death; and then one has forever. From that revelation, comes freedom to follow one's highest ideals, and to fearlessly and joyfully walk one's earthly path to its end. Gale Cooper is a Harvard educated, M.D. psychiatrist specializing in murder case consultation; who moved from a Beverly Hills, California, medical practice to a New Mexico mountain to write Joy of the Birds. Other Billy the Kid books by the author are Billy the Kid's Writings, Words, and Wit, MegaHoax: The Strange Plot to Exhume Billy the Kid and Become President, and Billy the Kid's Pretenders: Brushy Bill and John Miller. The author has also written and illustrated other adult non-fiction books and children's books.

Not a story about me through their eyes then. Find the beginning, the slight silver key to unlock it, to dig it out. Here then is a maze to begin, be in. (p. 20) Funny yet horrifying, improvisational yet highly distilled, unflinchingly violent yet tender and elegiac, Michael Ondaatje’s ground-breaking book The Collected Works of Billy the Kid is a highly polished and self-aware lens focused on the era of one of the most mythologized anti-heroes of the American West. This revolutionary collage of poetry and prose, layered with photos, illustrations and “clippings,” astounded Canada and the world when it was first published in 1969. It earned then-little-known Ondaatje his first of several Governor General’s Awards and brazenly challenged the world’s notions of history and literature. Ondaatje’s Billy the Kid (aka William H. Bonney / Henry McCarty / Henry Antrim) is not the clichéd dimestore comicbook gunslinger later parodied within the pages of this book. Instead, he is a beautiful and dangerous chimera with a voice: driven and kinetic, he also yearns for blankness and rest. A poet and lover, possessing intelligence and sensory discernment far beyond his life’s 21 year allotment, he is also a resolute killer. His friend and nemesis is Sheriff Pat Garrett, who will go on to his own fame (or infamy) for Billy’s execution. Himself a web of contradictions, Ondaatje’s Garrett is “a sane assassin sane assassin sane assassin sane assassin sane assassin sane” (p. 29) who has taught himself a language he’ll never use and has trained himself to be immune to intoxication. As the hero and anti-hero engage in the counterpoint that will lead to Billy’s predetermined death, they are joined by figures both real and imagined, including the homesteaders John and Sallie Chisum, Billy’s lover Angela D, and a passel of outlaws and lawmakers. The voices and images meld, joined by Ondaatje’s own, in a magnificent polyphonic dream of what it means to feel and think and freely act, knowing this breath is your last and you are about to be trapped by history. I am here with the range for everything corpuscle muscle hair hands that need the rub of metal those senses that that want to crash things with an axe that listen to deep buried veins in our palms those who move in dreams over your women night near you, every paw, the invisible hooves the mind’s invisible blackout the intricate never the body’s waiting rut.

Cracking the Billy the Kid Case Hoax: The Strange Plot to Exhume Billy the Kid, Convict Pat Garrett of Murder, and Become President of the United States, a 1,056 page illustrated paperback with primary document appendix and extensive bibliography and index, is a riveting and rollicking whistleblower saga told by the author about her decade spent saving the iconic Old West history of Billy the Kid and Pat Garrett from a huge historic/forensic hoax: a fabrication that Garrett never killed the Kid. Stopping that hoax used the Harvard educated author's background as an M.D. murder case consultant, her expertise in Billy the Kid history, and her willingness to risk danger. The Billy the Kid Case hoax was a self-serving publicity stunt by a governor, lawmen, and accomplices using illegal exhumations and faked DNA claims. The author's transforming personal journey exposed New Mexico's Santa Fe Ring corruption, debunked old-timer Billy the Kid pretenders, and enlisted aid from pre-eminent DNA experts and the modern family of Pat Garrett; until the author stood alone in a court as pro se to stop the hoaxers with penalties against them of a million dollars. Ultimately, cracking the hoax came from the author's finding a document revealing the hoax's secret and shocking motive. She was further amazed that the modern Santa Fe Ring's players matched the antique Ring players in the days of Billy the Kid. The Lincoln County War fought them in Billy's day; this modern fight was its rerun.
