Description

“So richly detailed, you can almost smell the gunsmoke and the sweat of the saddles. ” —Hampton Sides, *New York Times* bestselling **author of* Ghost Soldiers* No outlaw typifies America’s mythic Wild West more than Billy the Kid. *To Hell on a Fast Horse* by Mark Lee Gardner is the riveting true tale of Sheriff Pat Garrett’s thrilling, break-neck chase in pursuit of the notorious bandit. David Dary calls *To Hell on a Fast Horse,* “A masterpiece,” and Robert M. Utley calls it, “Superb narrative history.” **This is spellbinding historical adventure at its very best, recalling James Swanson’s* New York Times* bestseller *Manhunt* —about the search for Lincoln’s assassin, John Wilkes Booth—as it fills in with fascinating detail the story director Sam Peckinpah brought to the screen in his classic film *Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid.*
