The Authentic Life of Billy the Kid is a biography and first-hand account written by Pat Garrett, sheriff of Lincoln County, New Mexico. During the summer of 1881 in a small New Mexican village, Garrett shot and killed the notorious outlaw, William H. Bonney, better known as Billy the Kid. Due to the first publisher"s inability to widely distribute this book beginning in 1882, it sold few copies during Garrett"s lifetime. This book had become a major reference for historians who studied and wrote about the Kid"s life. For a generation after Sheriff Garrett shot the Kid, his account was considered to be factual. However, historians have since found in this book some elaborations and inconsistencies with other accounts of the life of Billy the Kids.
