I've been a fan of westerns since my uncles first said "here, read this". Ryan Coleman's BILLY THE KID is a fictionalized account of the early life of William Bonny, Billy the Kid. Coleman does an excellent job of showing readers the hardships and challenges of Bonny's youth that will push him to become one of the most feared gunmen of his era. The story stays true to the era, life was not easy and the law was what the gun in your hand could defend. This is my first title by Coleman but I'm checking his back library now.

I love a good Western now and again. This one fit the bill quite nicely.
Billy the Kid tells the story of The Kid from his early days. Before his legend even began.
Ryan Coleman tells a great story here. I was looking forward to picking the book up again every time I had to put it down.
He brought The Lincoln County War to life with both fiction and some good nuggets of history.
I eagerly await Mr. Coleman’s next foray into the Old West.
