I have Fred Nolan's book, it is very good and it's
confusing when you know nothing about that subject
but since I started it, I watched the two 2 shows
on Billy and that has helped, plus watching the
Young Guns and especially our webmaster's telling
all the things that were wrong or right with the
movie.
Any other good Billy books out there?

Although this book isn't about Ash Upson, you might try getting a copy of Fred Nolan's annotated version of Ash's and Garrett's "Authentic Life of BTK". Mr. Nolan goes through the entire book and points out all the inaccuracies written by Ash. It's an interesting read.

Hi---I'm new to this forum. I teach an American West history course in high school. This fall the emphisis will be on Hero's & Villians: Truth vs. Myth.

We'll even be looking at the good and bad lawmen (thanks to Del Cain's excellent books on the subject).

Anyway--- do you know of a book titled 'Billy the Kid's kid: A Hispanic Connection?'

Thanks
