About This Item
Lincoln, NE: University of Nebraska Press, 1994 University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln, NE. 1994. Softcover/Trade Wraps. Edition not stated. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Near Fine; scratch in center of front panel . No DJ. Pictorial card stock wraps. Wraps are not bent or folded; spine is not creased or split; text is secure in binding. 300 pp 8vo. This story of greed, violence, and death has entered American folklore through the mythologizing of the life of Billy the Kid and also through a tendency to see the Lincoln County as emblematic of frontier lawlessness. The author, an assistant attorney general for the State of NM, investigates the evidence - public sentiment, court records, and the actions of the participants- to come up with a clear picture of events and circumstances to provoke the war and carry it to its conclusion. A clean very presentable copy.
