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 he 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 Recommended for Western History buffs, Billy the Kid aficionados, and anyone who loves Santa Fe.

Author Biography

Billy the Kid enthusiast Lynn Michelsohn enjoys sharing her love of Santa Fe and New Mexico travel, Wild West history, and outlaw biographies with readers. Although she has taught law-related courses at the college level and published in professional journals, her forays into historical research and writing are strictly for pleasure. Living for many years in New Mexico, she developed a fascination with the young outlaw Billy the Kid and his world, especially his stays in Santa Fe. Currently, she and her husband intersperse their own time in The City Different with winters on Florida's Hutchinson Island, visits to their two adult sons, and assorted other travels.
