To Hell on a Fast Horse by Mark L Gardner

To Hell on a Fast Horse by Mark L Gardner

"So richly detailed, you can almost smell the gunsmoke and the sweat of the saddles. "

 --Hampton Sides, New York Times bestselling author of Ghost Soldiers

No outlaw typifies America's mythic Wild West more than Billy the Kid. To Hell on a Fast Horse by Mark Lee Gardner is the riveting true tale of Sheriff Pat Garrett's thrilling, break-neck chase in pursuit of the notorious bandit. David Dary calls To Hell on a Fast Horse, "A masterpiece," and Robert M. Utley calls it, "Superb narrative history." This is spellbinding historical adventure at its very best, recalling James Swanson's New York Times bestseller Manhunt--about the search for Lincoln's assassin, John Wilkes Booth--as it fills in with fascinating detail the story director Sam Peckinpah brought to the screen in his classic film Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid.

Gardner is a Cascade, Colorado-based professional historian. Wagons for the Santa Fe Trade: Wheeled Vehicles and Their Manufacturers, 1822-1880 is his book.
