Overview

Pat Garrett was the sheriff of Lincoln County who killed Billy the Kid. When Garrett's book appeared, eight lurid dime novels had glorified and falsified the Kid, making him into a murderous super-outlaw. Garrett's book tells the more genuine story of a young, reckless cowhand who became a cattle rustler and a hired gun.
