“So richly detailed, you can almost smell the gunsmoke and the sweat of the saddles. ”
―Hampton Sides, New York Times bestselling author of Ghost Soldiers
Billy the Kid―a.k.a. Henry McCarty, Henry Antrim, and William Bonney―was a horse thief, cattle rustler, charismatic rogue, and cold-blooded killer. A superb shot, the Kid gunned down four men single-handedly and five others with the help of cronies. Two of his victims were Lincoln County, New Mexico, deputies killed during the Kid's brazen daylight escape from the courthouse jail on April 28, 1881.
For new sheriff Pat Garrett, an acquaintance of Billy's, the chase was on. . . .
The first dual biography of the Kid and Garrett, To Hell on a Fast Horse re-creates the thrilling manhunt for the Wild West's most iconic outlaw. Mark Lee Gardner digs beneath the myth to take a fresh look at these two men, their relationship, and their epic ride to immortality.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "So richly detailed, you can almost smell the gunsmoke and the sweat of the saddles. " -Hampton Sides, New York Times bestselling author of Ghost Soldiers No outlaw typifies America's mythic Wild West more than Billy the Kid. To Hell on a Fast Horse by Mark Lee Gardner is the riveting true tale of Sheriff Pat Garrett's thrilling, break-neck chase in pursuit of the notorious bandit. David Dary calls To Hell on a Fast Horse, "A masterpiece," and Robert M. Utley calls it, "Superb narrative history." This is spellbinding historical adventure at its very best, recalling James Swanson's New York Times bestseller Manhunt-about the search for Lincoln's assassin, John Wilkes Booth-as it fills in with fascinating detail the story director Sam Peckinpah brought to the screen in his classic film Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. In this engaging work, Gardner shares the untold story of Sheriff Pat Garrett's thrilling, breakneck chase for his nemesis, the notorious bandit Billy the Kid.
