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 Americas 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 Garretts 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 Swansons New York Times bestseller Manhunt--about the search for Lincolns 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.
