Frederick Nolan is a leading authority on outlaws and gunfighters of the Old West. His award-winning books include The West of Billy the Kid; The Wild West: History, Myth, and the Making of America; and The Lincoln County War: A Documentary History. He resides in England.
The outlaws of the Wild West have an enduring fascination, and Billy the Kid remains one of the most prominent in popular, literary, and cinematic imagination. His name has represented everything from a psychopathic adolescent killer to a romantic Robin Hood. Nolan is a competent professional writer who has researched Billy the Kid and his world for many years. Author of the well-received Lincoln County War (LJ 1/92), which treats the range war in which Billy was killed, Nolan paints an intriguing picture of a bright young boy largely left to find his own way in a difficult and often violent environment. Neither romanticizing nor debunking, Nolan gives an evenhanded account of the Kid and his times in a readable, nicely illustrated book. This book is a worthy addition not only to regional collections but to more general biography and U.S. history collections.?Charles V. Cowling, Drake Memorial Lib., Brockport, NY
