Описание: 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.

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.
Gale Cooper's The Coroner's Jury Report of Billy the Kid: The Inquest that Sealed the Fame of Billy Bonney and Pat Garrett, 436 pages in Hardcover and Paperback, proves that it takes just that one Report to end all the Billy the Kid imposter hoaxes. This is the definitive book on that Report, which identified Pat Garrett's July 14, 1881 Fort Sumner victim as William Bonney, "the Kid." Given are the circumstances of that Coroner's Jury Report's writing, its proper filing with San Miguel County court records, and its basis for Pat Garrett's collecting his reward. The book also debunks the 20th century Billy the Kid imposter hoaxes of "Brushy Bill" Roberts and John Miller, which were based on denying that Garrett fatally shot the Kid on July 14, 1881, claimed he killed an innocent victim instead, and lied that Billy survived to old age as themselves. Also hoaxbusted are the 21st century "Billy the Kid Case" hoax and the "Cold Case Billy the Kid" megahoax, built on those old imposters' lies, with more added. The author is a Billy the Kid expert, author of many history and hoaxbusting books on the subject. She is a Harvard Medical School educated M.D. forensic psychiatrist.

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.
The information presented here has been unknown until now. This book makes it possible to answer these previously unanswerable questions:
Where was Billy captured?
Where was Billy tried?
What were the governing Territorial laws?
What were the charges against Billy?
Was there a trial transcript and what happened to it?
What kind of defense did Billy present?
Did Billy testify in his own defense?
Did Billy have witnesses standing for him?
Who testified against him for the prosecution?
What was the jury like?
What action by the trial judge virtually guaranteed his conviction?
What legal grounds did he have to appeal his verdict?
Was the trial fair?
Supplementing the text are 132 photos, including many photos never published before.
