Book Reviews of Billy the Kid: The Endless Ride
Book Review: Not JUST another BTK book!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are a Billy the Kid "expert" you may not find anything new in this book.
However for the rest of us, Michael Wallis presents Billy's story in a fresh and entertaining style.
He also provides interesting background detail to the events and personalities in Billy's life.
For me perhaps the most intriguing part is his presentation in some detail of Herman Weisner's research into Billy's origins.
Of course it's fairly easy to provide explanations as to Billy's name choices of William and Henry, but why Bonney?
Weisner's research not only provides a very convincing and straightforward reason but also may explain
why Billy seemed so mature for his age - maybe he was older than so far believed!!
I believe Jan Girand's book on Billy's origins may be published soon and this may give added weight to Weisner's research.
Obviously there is still a great deal to discover about Henry McCarty!!
This is definitely a valued addition to my existing BTK books - four stars pushed to five because as the chapters are in the main fairly short it's also a great book to "dip into" for a few minutes of Billy the kid and Lincoln County entertainment!
