To Hell on a Fast Horse

In a tale right out of the American West, a notorious killer and a lawman determined to catch him clash to become a legend with all the elements of a Louis L'Amour novel. The outlaw, William H. Bonney--aka Billy the Kid--has stolen horses, cattle, and registered mail. His evasion of justice and daring jail escapes have made him a desirable catch for any sheriff brave enough to take the risk--and Pat Garrett is that sheriff. Narrator Alan Sklar adopts an accent of yesteryear by leaving the "g's" off his "ing's" and smudging the last syllable of other words--like "winduh." His deep, gravelly voice adds authentic charm to the story. New Mexican Spanish mixed with frontier English gives a historic regionality to this true-crime story. J.A.H.
