A little after midnight, a barefoot young man crossed a dark bedroom in Fort Sumner and asked, in Spanish, ¿Quién es? — who is it? Pat Garrett fired twice. The boy on the floor was about twenty-one. Within a year the legend had already swallowed him whole. The story you think you know is mostly invention. The presses of the East turned Henry McCarty into a grinning monster who had murdered a man for every year he lived. The real young man was harder, sadder, and far more interesting than the poster the dime novels printed. This book separates the documented record from the myth. A New ...
