I liked best to read the book Billy the Kid

1.The author of this book is Helen Airy the title of the book is ,,Billy the
Kid’’.
2. Billy the Kid first earned his reputation as a gunslinger in 1878, when he
participated in a bloody frontier war in Lincoln County, New Mexico. The
conflict centered on a business rivalry between British-born rancher John
Tunstall and a pair of Irish tycoons named James Dolan and Lawrence
Murphy. Dolan and Murphy’s outfit—known as “The House”—had long held
a monopoly over the dry goods and cattle trades in Lincoln County. When
they tried to intimidate Tunstall’s upstart operation, the Englishman enlisted
the Kid and several other gunmen to protect his property. The tensions
finally boiled over in February 1878, when Tunstall was murdered by a
posse organized by Sheriff William Brady, a supporter of The House.

Following Tunstall’s death, the Kid and several other former employees
organized themselves into a vigilante group called “The Regulators” and
swore revenge. In what became known as the “Lincoln County War,” the
Regulators assassinated Sheriff Brady and spent the next several months
shooting it out with The House’s forces. In July 1878, the feud reached its
climax with a deadly, five-day firefight in the town of Lincoln, after which the
Regulators disbanded and the two sides sealed a flimsy peace agreement.
The Kid left the war with a reputation as one of the West’s most skilled
gunmen, but he remained wanted for the murder of Sheriff Brady. He would
spend the rest of his life on the run from the authorities.

3. Main characters is :Billy the Kid , Fort Wingate ,John Miller, Eugene
Lambson , Pat Garrett.

4. Most catchy moment in the book is when in late 1880, Lincoln County
Sheriff Pat Garrett tracked the Kid to a cabin in Stinking Springs, New
Mexico, and forced his surrender. The outlaw was found guilty of the murder
of Sheriff William Brady and confined to the Lincoln courthouse. He was
scheduled for a date with the hangman, but on the evening of April 28,
1881, he engineered the most daring getaway of his criminal career.

5. I chose this book because is a book by heroes and criminals , There are
events that happened in real life . Because Billy the Kid is a character that
existed on the basis of which this book was written. There are events in his life
that are interesting to read. It's a book which captivates the attention.
