Summary
This is the story of William Bonney as told by the lawman who ended his notorious career. While explaining the public sympathy that the citizens of the Southwest often accorded youths like Bonney, Garrett challenges the glorified legends of the Kid, offering instead the more genuine story of a young, reckless cowhand who became a hired gun.
Combining the best elements of eyewitness history with the dramatic flair of a great western novel, this is the clearest account we have of the meteoric career of a man some thought of as a murdering fiend, and others as the Robin Hood of the Southwest.

Billy the Kid
I did not know much bout Billy the Kid so it is gud to listen to his story, I don't think he was as bad as his reputation.

Good story
I was hoping for more details, a good account but take with a pinch of salt

Insightful
For those that are tainted by the movies must listen to this. Pats rendition of his chase for Billy is excellent and his explanations of Billy’s behaviour and history paints more pictures than I’ve seen in other books and movies.
Great read

Terrible, distant, tinny audio.

Interesting read
Quite interesting hearing from an actual participant in the events, but an utterly abysmal quality of recording.
