The Capture of Billy the Kid (The Early West)

Index, biblio, 42 b/w illustrations, photos, maps. Cal Polk and Louis Bousman rode with Pat Garrett to Stinking Springs in December 1880 in pursuit of the Kid. In their own words, Bousman and Polk tell about the dramatic capture of Billy the Kid. Versions from Charley Siringo, Jim East, Pat Garrett, and newspaper accounts are included for comparison. All accounts are remarkably similar on the major points.
