Author Description

This may be the last unexamined aspect of the life and legend of Billy the Kid. Author Lee Priestley and artist Marquita Peterson believe they have discovered why Billy the Kid is still remembered and celebrated more than 100 years after his death. Lee Priestley skillfully weaves the story from the letters and tattered memories of those who know the legend best. Marquita Peterson's nineteenth century artistic style brings those stories to life in more than a dozen illustrations.
