This is a great story about Billy the Kid. Of course it has known facts woven in with fictional narrative to make the story go forward and compelling. If you ever wanted some overview of how the story of Billy the Kid became legend you’d find this an easy way learn the legend. I have traveled to Fort Sumner and stopped by The Kid’s gravesite while I was there. It’s nothing specia to look at other than knowing the story and timeline behind this piece of Western Legend and Lore. You can find a couple of Billy the Kid Museums that are profit making gift centers. Finding his real gravesite is more difficult than I thought it would be. You have to locate the old graveyard and not the more recent one. You can ask around. A SIRI search didn't get me there. I had to use a map. Now my trip to that place as well as Roswell gives me more appreciation for the lives once lived out here in the harsh country of New Mexico. Narration was excellent and appropriate for the subject.
