Thunder in the West by Richard W Etulain
Even before he was shot and killed in 1881, Billy the Kid's charisma and murderous career were generating stories that belied his brief life. Richard Etulain takes the true measure of Billy, the man and the legend, and presents the clearest picture yet of his life and his ever-shifting place and presence in the cultural landscape of the Old West.-

In this well-written, carefully researched, and thoughtfully presented account, Richard WEtulain offers the gold standard in the fields of history and lore on Lincoln County, New Mexico, and Billy the Kid."—David V. Holtby, author of Forty-Seventh Star: New Mexico’s Struggle for Statehood
"Thunder in the West is not just a biography of America’s most famous outlaw but also a study in how the young killer has been viewed against the background of a changing America."—Sunday Denver Post
"Richard W. Etulain is one of the best known writers of the Wild West. His latest, Thunder in the West, deals with not only the biographical aspects of Kid’s life but also delves into aspects of how the Kid has been treated in the century plus since his death in 1881. Of significant importance is Etulain’s treatment of the many writers and researchers who have been fascinated with the Kid’s story, producing a mountain of books and articles as well as films dealing with some aspect of the Kid’s life. Many readers will be familiar with some of these but Etulain has somehow dug deeper than others. Highly recommend!"—Tombstone Epitaph
