No other historical figure from the Old West has stirred up more controversy
and eluded historians and biographers than Billy
the Kid alias William H. Bonney. This young man in his short life has established his place in
history and legend, but there is more to the myth there's the man, which in
my opinion is far more interesting. On this website you'll find plenty of
information and learn who Billy
the Kid really was and how he became a legend in his own
time.

“I don’t blame you for writing of
me as you have. You had to believe other stories, but then I don’t know if
any one would believe anything good of me anyway.”

Billy the Kid's comment to a Las Vegas Gazette reporter
(December, 1880)
