Description
Billy the Kid spent part of his youth in Santa Fe in the 1870s.
~ 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?
~ What other residents did Billy encounter who would figure significantly in later chapters of his brief life?
~ And how did Billy spend his days and his nights as a youngster in Santa Fe? Did he ice skate? . . . play baseball? . . . tell ghost stories?
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 and two appendices.
