Описание: The Authentic Life of Billy the Kid, is the biography of William H. Bonney, a.k.a. "Billy the Kid", a notorious gunman of the American Old West. Author Pat F. Garrett recounts the major events in Bonney's life, detailing his first murder at age 18 as well as his death three years later at the hands of the author. Among the many colorful details of his life, Bonney was instrumental in the Lincoln County War in New Mexico where Garrett served as the sheriff. Garrett details the Kid's story in order to align his legend and true history. PAT F. GARRETT (1850-1908) is known as the man that killed Billy the Kid. He was an American Old West customs agent, bartender, and lawman.
Analysis of the lost Pardon of Billy the Kid for murders committed during the Lincoln County War reveals New Mexico Territory's desperate uprisings in the 1870's against expanding tyranny of the Santa Fe Ring, Governor Lew Wallace's dilemma, and the tragic outcome of the crushed freedom fight that yielded the myth of "Billy the Kid."
A mystery in Old West history has been why Governor Lew Wallace never issued Billy Bonney aka Billy the Kid the pardon for his three Lincoln County War murder indictments, which Billy believed was promised in exchange for his giving Grand Jury testimony against Santa Fe Ring murderers. And lack of that pardon resulted in Billy's hanging trial, jailbreak, and killing by Sheriff Pat Garrett as an outlaw on July 14, 1881.
Was the pardon promise real, or merely Wallace's trick of wording? Had Wallace reneged? Or had Wallace yielded to corrupt pressures? Was a pardon deserved? Did Wallace have legal power to grant that pardon? Did Billy fulfill his side of the pardon bargain? Why did Billy's lawyer never make a formal pardon petition to Wallace? Who were the pardon's opponents? Were others pardoned by Wallace for Lincoln County War indictments? Could the Secret Service have independently pardoned Billy? Why did Billy risk a pardon rejection, when simply leaving the Territory would have saved his life? Were others secretly involved in seeking his pardon? Why did Billy testify in a Court of Inquiry against a military commander, separate from the pardon bargain? Why has it taken so long to reveal the truth? Should there be a posthumous pardon?
This huge book gives all the answers, and yields a revolutionary revision of Billy the Kid history.
The Santa Fe Ring versus Billy the Kid: The Making of an American Monster, by Gale Cooper (888 pages in hardcover and paperback) exposes New Mexico Territory's Santa Fe Ring and the rebellions against its tyranny. The Ring was a form of organized crime which infiltrated New Mexico Territory's executive, judicial, legislative, and law enforcement positions for participants' mutual gain. Opponents were defeated by rigged elections, malicious prosecution, and assassination. But it was nearly destroyed by one teenager: Billy Bonney, hero of the Lincoln County War freedom fight, whom it branded as the outlaw, "Billy the Kid." With this book, the Ring's 152 year cover-up is over. Supported by research of over 50,000 pages of archival documents and books, is the first presentation of the unsung anti-Ring freedom fights wracking New Mexico Territory of the 1870's. The role played by Billy Bonney, as he sought a pardon from Governor Lew Wallace, is analyzed as jeopardizing the Ring's existence by demolishing its necessary secrecy for its covert crimes. He had to die. But justice was served by his world-wide fame dragging the clandestine Ring into the light of history and justice.

Gale Cooper, a Harvard Medical School educated M.D. forensic psychiatrist, draws on her 20 years of Billy the Kid writings and research to write Cold Case Billy the Kid: The Plot to Steal Billy the Kid's Identity and to Defame Sheriff Pat Garrett as a Murderer. It is the definitive debunking of Billy the Kid imposter hoaxes: old men who claimed to have survived Sheriff Pat Garrett's famous July 14, 1881 shooting and to have lived to old age, and their profiteering promoting authors. For the first time, in one big book, with meticulous expos s and profuse sources, are included the 20th century pretenders, Oliver "Brushy Bill" Roberts and John Miller; and their 21st century revivals in the "Billy the Kid Case" forensic DNA hoax, and the Cold Case Billy the Kid megahoax, which combined them all. Not only are profiteering charlatans debunked; but, in contrast, the art, science, and labor of discovering real history are demonstrated. Additional concerns are voiced about irresponsible promotion of the antiquated pretenders and their false conspiracy theories in documentaries hawking "history's mysteries" and victimizing their unsuspecting audience. Hardcover and Paperback. 936 pages.

Описание:
This book is about Billy the Kid's trial for murder, and the events leading to that trial. The result of Billy's trial sealed his fate. And yet Billy's trial is the least written about, and until this book, the least known event of Billy's adult life.
Prior biographies have provided extensive - and fascinating - details on Billy's life, but they supply only a few paragraphs on Billy's trial. Just the bare facts: time, place, names, result.
Billy's trial the most important event in Billy's life. You may respond that his death is more important - it is in anyone's life That is true, in an existential sense, but the events that lead to one's death at a particular place and time, the cause of one's death, override the importance of one's actual death. Those events are determinative. Without those events, one does not die then and there. If Billy had escaped death on July 14, 1881, and went on to live out more of his life, that escape and not his trial would probably be the most important event of Billy's life.
