  • True story behind one of the most notorious names from the Wild West. New books about Billy the Kid appear multiple times each year, most filled with a tired rehash of much that has been previously known about the young outlaw. Is there anything to be learned about Billy the Kid that is "new?" Yes! Historians Kurt House and Roy B. Young have found it.
    In addition to uncovering new information about Billy, the book contains several rare illustrations, some of which have never before been published, as well as a unique, detailed analysis of the arms used in the Lincoln County War.
    Most of what has been known about Billy the Kid's life originated with Pat Garrett's biography of him, "An Authentic Life...." However, the book was seriously misnamed and is full of errors and the self-aggrandizement of the author. This research project has turned old and tired stories on their head with new information, new discoveries, and the correction of false and fake history.
    In early to mid-2022, a new book Chasing Billy the Kid: Frank Stewart and the Untold Story of the Manhunt for William H. Bonney will hit the shelves. Nothing like it has been published before and it turns the whole "Pat Garrett as sole champion in the capture of Billy the Kid" concept around with the truth of what really happened in New Mexico in the winter of 1880/

      Thanks for your good question. No, we had no idea! We searched for it for a year prior to the discovery. Talk about serendipity! Locating the second gun, with its additional information on the grip really made the story even more astounding and gave us the lead of W. Scott Moore to follow, which we were astounded to verify. I think it was about that point that we decided the guns, the incident, the personalities and the lack of recognition for Stewart deserved a book.
